==History==
===Parkinson's Disease===
Edward had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. His disease had progressed to the point where he had severe symptoms. He came into the hospital to have some back pain treated.
===Deep Brain Stimulation===
While he was in the hospital to have his back pain treated, the doctors asked him if he'd considered deep brain stimulation to treat his Parkinson's symptoms. He said he didn't want the surgery, but after his daughter pressured him, saying she wanted him to walk her down the aisle at her wedding, he agreed to have the surgery, for which he had to be awake. In surgery, he was in awe when he was able to control his hand movements. The surgery went well and he was able to walk around the hospital stably afterward.
