Things have taken an unexpected turn, and not in a good way.

My dad (who's about to turn 70) has experienced headaches/dizziness the last few days. Last night he started having trouble with his balance. It was worse this morning.

So we took him to the hospital. A CT scan reveals blood around the brain. Probably happened within the last few days - two weeks.

He's going to have a procedure in the morning to drain it. Hopefully the least invasive one (with a couple holes) will do it.

The doctor doesn't think it was a stroke. I don't know a lot beyond that.
