Something, Something, Crisis, Opporotunity

So, to quote the immortal intro to the video for Voices Carry, "What's with the hair?"

So, my dad is going in for literal, capital-B Brain Surgery.

So, it's actually Deep Brain Stimulation, a treatment for Parkinson's Disease, wherein they basically put a pacemaker in your head.

So, that pacemaker is supposed to level you out, I guess, and make the lows a little less low, and the myoclonia (fancy Greek for the twitches, basically) a little less extreme.

So, they had to shave his head, because otherwise you get hair caught in the tectonic plates when they screw your lid back on or something like that.

So, this is obviously a big deal for me and my family.

So, it's a big deal and I'm going to Los Angeles to be with everyone while it happens.

So, I mean, solidarity.

So, I shaved my head.

So, wouldn't you do the same thing?
