The fellas are joined once again by their friend and Parkinson's advocate, Larry Gifford. The gang have an intimate conversation about his life with Parkinson's, they delve into the heart of his upcoming Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, a groundbreaking procedure aimed at reclaiming his quality of life. Larry's candor shines through as he describes the incredible journey he's undertaken. He opens up about the daily challenges of living with Parkinson's, shedding light on the disease's relentless grasp on his life. With unwavering resilience, Larry shares his excitement, anxiety, and hope as he prepares for the life-altering surgery, revealing the astonishing detail: "They will be drilling holes in my head to insert electrodes." The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Larry elaborates on the science behind DBS surgery, describing how he will soon wield a remote control to fine-tune the electric stimulus that will significantly improve his symptoms. The future is here.
Good luck tomorrow Lar, we love you buddy!
