On a chilly Thursday in December, Nick Pernisco woke up from his Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery with a few new holes in his head -- and a whole new lease on life with Parkinson's.


In the follow up to his best-selling Parkinson's Warrior: Fighting Back and Taking Control, Nick takes you on an intimate, first-person journey through the full DBS experience. With candor and humor, Deep Brain Stimulation: A Journey to Relief offers inspiration and accessible information on what you need to know about DBS, what to expect along each step of the way, and the renewed possibilities for life after DBS.


If you or your loved one is considering DBS, but you're unsure, or scared, or just want to know more, this book is for you.


From the Introduction


On December 6th, 2018 I underwent Deep Brain Stimulation surgery to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. My first symptoms had appeared in 2009, so it was almost exactly nine years later that I would go under the drill and knife to get some relief. I had some apprehension at first - I mean, it's brain surgery - but I'm glad I went through with it. Although DBS was not a cure for Parkinson's, the surgery set back the clock on my symptoms about 10-12 years.
In this sequel to the original Parkinson's Warrior book, I detail the circumstances that lead me to consider Deep Brain Stimulation, the essential details about what the surgery does and how it works, and a first-hand account of my own surgery. Just like in the original Parkinson's Warrior book, I pull no punches. I give you every detail, no matter how frightening it might sound. My hope is that, after reading this book, Deep Brain Stimulation won't sound so frightening. The reason I wrote this book is to demonstrate that an option exists to alleviate Parkinson's symptoms, and that people with Parkinson's do not have to lose hope when their symptoms worsen. I had Deep Brain Stimulation surgery to give me time to live my life more normally until a cure for Parkinson's is discovered. The second part of this book involves my life after DBS surgery. I discuss some expectations I had about the surgery, how I felt after surgery, and how having a Warrior mentality helped me adjust to a new normal. I hope this second section will inspire you and make you think about your life, remembering that we only get one shot at life, so we better make the most of it. Finally, I hope that by reading this book, you will consider having DBS. It's brain surgery, but it's not so scary, and it will absolutely change your life. I've gotten my life back thanks to DBS, and so I'm happy to sing its praises from the rooftops. I look forward to you joining me on this journey as I recount my story. And please, if you ever have any questions or need guidance to help find the right information for you, write to me since I'd love to hear from you: [email protected].

It's funny but cheap
My cat does enjoy chasing the little fluff balls around and then batting them for a few seconds than looking back at me for more. It's good for some good laughs and entertainment but the fluff balls and little plastic shooter are honestly dollar tree level quality. The shooter has one flimsy spring and looking at the placement inside it seems like something that'll fall apart pretty fast. Not worth $11 or $8, this should be >$5 easily.

Dangerous
Size: 30 Pcs
My 1 year old cat loved to chase the balls, but who ever designed these balls should be ashamed of their selves. They balls are to small and easy for the cat to chew on and swallow!!! My cat just got done with an extremely costly surgery because he swallowed 3 of the balls he must of hid them somewhere because he usually did not play with them unattended. Never mind the pain my poor sweet baby just went through. I would never purchase something where somebody has not tested the size and shape of something to make sure that it is safe for an animal, sad to assume that somebody would create such a toy without checking that out and putting a animal through this nightmare. This is the first time in my that I have ever done a review, but I would never want somebody to go through what my cat and I have just experienced. Had to him to the emergency room on a Sunday to a follow up appointment at the vet on a Monday and then another follow up appointment on a Tuesday to redo the ultrasound to on Wednesday another appointment to check them and then him having to go in for an emergency surgery on Thursday. The problem is, he didn’t eat them all at one time so they obviously were sitting in his tummy until he started getting sick and throwing up. I will be checking into this company a bit deeper as well, so please be aware and don’t ever purchase something like this.

All 3 cats say 5 stars!
Size: 100 Pcs
The cats love to chase these balls. And it comes with 100! Which is the perfect amount. So far the gun is still working well. I just find you need to barely put the pom pom in after cocking the gun. If you push the pom pom all the way in, it wont shoot. More often than not though, I just throw the balls for the cats. The gun shoots them very far, the cats enjoy chasing them, but they prefer to jump up and try to catch them, which they cant do when I use the gun
