They introduce Dr. Chris Honey, the neurosurgeon who will perform the procedure the brain surgeon. Dr. Honey breaks down what to expect and the possible risks of DBS, stressing the importance of picking the right surgeon and keeping a positive mindset. After the surgery, the plan is to use the DBS device to replicate Larry's best moments on medication, with the hope of eventually cutting down or even ditching the meds. The episode also brings in Tim Hague Sr., who shares his experience with the medication challenge, underlining just how much Levodopa (medication) can make a world of difference for folks dealing with Parkinson's. The podcast wraps up with a chat about making essential medications accessible worldwide and some cool facts about DBS.Check out these videos of Larry's OFF CHALLENGEMy Eye Opening DBS "Off Challenge" <a href="https://youtu.be/GrlCmrHbtb0?si=PGRaESoYWMt4L5Uc">https://youtu.be/GrlCmrHbtb0?si=PGRaESoYWMt4L5Uc</a> The Power of Levodopa <a href="https://youtu.be/Mg91r2hT6p4?si=xFgVhnCSiRX8haLZ">https://youtu.be/Mg91r2hT6p4?si=xFgVhnCSiRX8haLZ</a> Thank You to:Neurosurgeon Dr. Christopher Honey <a href="http://www.drhoney.com/">www.DrHoney.com</a>Nurse Nancy at the Vancouver Coastal Health DBS Clinic  Tim Hauge Sr. <a href="http://www.timsr.ca/">www.TimSr.ca</a> founder of <a href="http://www.uturnparkinsons.org/">www.uturnparkinsons.org</a> <a href="http://www.pdavengers.com/">www.pdavengers.com</a> TV Show House <a href="https://www.imdb.com/company/co0022072?ref_=tt_dt_co_1">Heel & Toe Films</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/company/co0146945?ref_=tt_dt_co_2">Shore Z Productions</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/company/co0057712?ref_=tt_dt_co_3">Bad Hat Harry Productions</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/company/co0205765?ref_=ttco_co_3">Moratim Produktions</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/company/co0129175?ref_=ttco_co_4">NBC Universal Television</a> (2004-2007) <a href="https://www.imdb.com/company/co0196576?ref_=ttco_co_0">Universal Media Studios (UMS)</a> (2007)The Brain Surgeon - <a href="https://youtu.be/THNPmhBl-8I?si=f-RopnAk7rsmbVie">That Mitchell & Webb Look , Series 3 - BBC Two</a>MAIL Larry and Rebecca: <a href="mailto:ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca%0d">ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca</a>Have a topic or questions that you would like Larry & Rebecca to address on a future episode?
