With
an eerie sense of deja-vu we look into the upcoming PD events and find
that once again there will be a Telehealth conference about Parkinson's
disease to which you are invited at no charge. Spooky! The interactive
broadcast will take place Monday, October 13, 2014 at 1:00 PM. You can find the Alaska broadcast by going to the Providence Hospital oncology wing on Piper St. Go to the second floor, walk down the lonnnnnnnng hall that stretches South from the cafe and look for room 2401 pretty much at the end of the hall on your right. Presentation
Titled: Tools to Aid in Daily Living, especially for those affected by
Parkinson’s Disease. -What kind of financial support is available to
help pay for needed equipment? For more information contact :
center@spokaneparkinsons.org
Our
regular support group meeting will follow on the 18th at our usual time, 3:30. Oh, did I say
"regular"? My mistake. An extraordinary meeting of the support group
will occur on the 18th when Dr. Ryder Gwin, a neurosurgeon will come all
the way from Swedish Hospital in Seattle to give us the latest info on
how they are handling Deep Brain Stimulation surgery there. He will be
joined by Keely Dailey of Medtronic, the maker of the device most
commonly used in the procedure. If you are considering this operation,
or have always wondered what a brain surgeon looks like, or are just
curious about the amazing practice of treating Parkinson's and other
neurological problems by inserting electrodes into a person's head you
don't want to miss this meeting.
I hope to see you there,
Peter
