Good news

Hello. It's been a while, I know. School is a lot more work than I remember, but I guess I'm actually trying to do well this time, so...

Anyway, the news is that my dad has (after several months of waiting) been given a definite date for an operation that should reduce his Parkinsons' symptoms by a substantial amount. It's called Deep Brain Stimulation, or as the kidz say, DBS. He'll be going under the knife on Oct.14 in Toronto, so say a prayer to your respective god(s) or goddess(es) or whatever; all supernatural help is appreciated. No surgery is without its risks, but Dad is going into this without hesitation and with a real sense of adventure. I do believe he enjoys being a medical guinea pig, just because he gets to see all the new toys earlier than everyone else. :) Seriously though, his attitude throughout all of his medical problems has been a real inspiration. This guy has been through hell, and he refuses to be defeated. I really hope this implant works as advertised. I also hope it gives him superpowers. I'm guessing either telekinesis or maybe something to do with electromagnetism.
