HOPEFULLY. MY 82 YEAR OLD FATHER IS HAVING DEEP BRAIN

HOPEFULLY. MY 82 YEAR OLD FATHER IS HAVING DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION DONE IN PHOENIX. HE HAS THE ELECTRODES PLACED AND HAS TO WAIT UNTIL AUG 31 TO HAVE THE IMPULSE GENERATOR IMPLANTED IN HIS CHEST UNDER THE SKIN. HE HAS TO WAIT FOR CLEARANCE FROM THE NEUROLOGIST INVOLVED IN HIS MILD STROKE ONE WEEK AFTER THE DBS SURGERY. MY FATHER IS LOSING WEIGHT (DOWN TO 150LBS), DEPRESSED, VERY LOW ENERGY, NO MOTIVATION ETC. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO IMPROVE HIS MOOD, HELP HIM GAIN MUSCLE TONE AND WEIGHT?
