I don't know about the head pain, but I want to say that your dad is a fortunate man indeed to have someone like you caring about him. My wife and daughter care about me in the same manner and I can't even describe how important and uplifting it is. Keep up your good work - as hard as it can be - it is far more important than you can ever know and it makes a far greater difference than you will ever be able to measure. I admire you for doing what you do.
