In August, my Dad will once again undergo surgery which will hopefully ease the symptoms of his Parkinson’s Disease. Given the experience the last time he had surgery, I’ve decided to take a few weeks off to take care of him in any way he needs.
Things will be quiet around here for a little while since I won't be blogging while I'm away, but chances are I'll still post to Twitter now and then, so feel free to follow me on Twitter if you'd like to hear me bitch about the U.S. healthcare system.
PS: I plan to disable all comments to this blog before I leave on July 30 just to make sure I don't have to worry about spammers taking over in my absence.
The bitching will no doubt be warranted, and may help drawing attention to problems that can be solved. Strength and grace to you and your family.

Hoping all goes well for your Dad unlike the appalling events of last time.
