#148: Parkinson's & DBS: Jessica's Fears and Hopes for the Future
Manage episode 497035430 series 3632862
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.
