Surgery helps block Parkinson's effects in Linda Davis
Linda Davis of Lawrence underwent four deep brain stimulation surgeries starting in May to slow Parkinson's progression. Electrodes in her brain emit pulses to curb abnormal activity, reducing medicine needs. The 59 year old, diagnosed June 26, 1996, lives with husband Bob Davis and has resumed painting and overnight independence as handwriting improves.
