Each appointment brings its own emotions and apprehensions but the incredible staff at the University of Miami Parkinson’s Center for Excellence is always rock steady in providing support and advice ,making me feel more like a protected friend than just a patient. This visit with Corneliu Luca, MD, PhD felt more like a celebration of sorts.
My rapid transformation from being totally disabled to reclaiming my life has been nothing short of miraculous in my eyes. Prior to DBS surgery and programming, completing even simple daily tasks were a monumental feat and hope was dwindling by the second. I felt as though I was a prisoner in my own body and while my mind was fully functional, my body refused to cooperate. Today I’m beginning to believe that my transformation has longevity, providing a new lease on life.
A profound thank you to Dr. Corneliu Luca, Dr. Jonathan Russell Jagid and Dr. Carlos Singer for their empathy, encouragement and for second chances in life!
