Holes in the Head

For those of you who may not already know, my dad has Parkinson's Disease. He was diagnosed years ago and has undergone many treatments and has tried all kinds of prescriptions. Some of them helped some of them didn't. Some of them made him sick and others did nothing at all. His latest trip to the hospital was today, and this time he was getting holes put in his head. Yes, you heard me correctly...holes...drilled through his skull, and wires inserted into his brain. Scary.
Before he went to surgery they screwed some futuristic apparattus to his head which ended up leaving its own holes in his skin. I told him he looked like Darth Vader when Luke took his helmet off in Return of the Jedi, ha.

Of course they shaved his head and made him look like uncle Larry, or Shawn. Mom didn't like the shaved look. After the surgery they brought us his hair in a plastic bag...that was weird.
The bandages on his head made him look like he had horns...funny stuff. Next week they are going to run wires from his head, under his skin to his chest and implant two pacemaker-like devices that he can control himself. But the good news is the surgery went fine and he is doing great.
