Edit
Gary, now living in Wisconsin had DBS surgery. His wife June used to post a lot about it and has again recently. You can find her latest post through FIND "Posted by: June in Wisconsin 04/29/2008, 17:47:12". She gives a link to "June's Page" which might tell you more about Gary's surgery results (don't think they have been so good). She has also listed their e-mail address - if you click on her name (in red) in appears in PDF format. Best wishes. June in Toronto
