Deep Brain Stimulation For Parkinson's and The Game Of Chess

In the past day I've noticed that my views for  yesterday have  gone to the highest views for this particular blog.  It  doesn't really surprise me because people really want to know how Parkinson's can affect the thinking processes.  Now it is clearly evident that no candidate should be approved for a deep brain operation afflicted with Parkinson's if they will be worsened by such  an operation or surgery as examined by a neurologist and evaluated.  The   first thing I did as a result of my denial for approval for DBS was to google cognizant tests for patients with Parkinson's.  My father had Parkinson's too when he past his eightieth birthday but  he didn't even know.  I'm trying to digest this news very seriously.  I also remain in a series of the last sixteen games of chess in a  slump but I'm probably playing better players having gone to a social category where I am more willing to play anyone with any rating and beat them on a good day.  The hard cold facts that my ratings have fallen to a near 1000 chess rating but from there I usually can take it up to 1200 and beyond.  Pretty boring stuff for those non playing chess players I'd say.  My other blog called Journalism Reports might have more mass appeal since it involves the news generally and not just the news of my personal experiences of online chess.  A very smart and gifted man by the name of Marty Nemko has directed and advised me to commence with these blogs and if it were not for him I would never have begun such an endeavor.
