In this episode, Brian, Melissa, and I dive into a pretty big topic—my upcoming deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson’s. We talk through what the lead-up has been like, both medically and emotionally, and what I’m hoping for as I head into this next step. We also get into how Parkinson’s continues to shape our lives, what it’s taught us, and how crucial support from family (and each other) really is. It’s an honest conversation, filled with hope, nerves, and a lot of heart as we look ahead to what’s next.
00:00 Journey to Deep Brain Stimulation
05:06 Understanding the Procedure and Expectations
10:12 Reflections on Parkinson's Progression
16:05 Looking Ahead: New Beginnings and Optimism
