Jared's not an insecure person. I think he'd obviously prefer to have a full head of hair, but as he started balding, he always said that at least he had a nice "dome." Well... it's definitely got a new shape, and in my opinion, adds character. :)
After the first surgery, the incision was massive, but it was healing up nicely and you didn't really notice the scar. He actually had a soft spot on the top of his head for a while, but after a few weeks it started to harden and looked great. The second (infection) surgery created the "character." The incision scar was now much more prominent, and a few weeks after surgery, it once again started to harden, but it also started to sag. We don't know why, our guess is that they placed the skull back in, but then as the infection started to settle and get smaller, it created the sagging. It also makes it harder to shave his hair, because you can't quite get the razor to cut where his head is uneven. We've joked about whether all of this would be harder on a person with a real nice head of hair, or a bald person. Obviously a full head of hair would cover his "imperfect" head now, but it would've been harder to deal with the shaving for surgery and the loss of hair during radiation (he had two big crop circles in the back of his hair for about three months!).
I guess our new phrase is that at least he's tall!
