SUNDAY 5:30 AM: Still dark and three hours since 2:30 AM trip to kitchen for glass of water followed by a chapter titled “The Bionic Brain,” which describes deep brain stimulation (DBS), and was read with intention of lulling back asleep, but instead set off synapses still sparking over coincidences straddling family connections: father with mild OCD, Parkinson’s, an early career involving therapeutic concerns for quadriplegia (among others), his wife in memory care, and this daughter of his married to a musician with lifetime of chronic head pain obsessed by subtle buzzes and hums in amps and electric guitars—all conditions seeming of the same fabric within this chapter surgically navigating millimeters of brain to suppress someone’s preoccupation with Visine.
