Jan/DHM ~

While the issue of who looks good in a hat (of any style) is purely subjective, I stand my my position that I don't look good in a hat (any style).  I base this opinion on many decades of observation as well as my wife's supporting opinion (and she loves me).  Those who believe they look good in a hat should certainly wear one.  My opinion relates only to me, although I reserve the right to hold the view that some people (mostly men) really don't look good in a hat.  Just as some people - male or female - shouldn't wear tight pants - but that's a whole different thread!  :D

Jim in tight pants... I'd pay to see that!  Also to see him in a hat... :) 

Jim... geesh! Me thinks I'll see if Steve can knit you a togue in the color of your stunning wife's eye color! How about that!? :)

Jim,

Perhaps a propeller beanie?  I'll bet you haven't tried one of those.   :D

You apparently feel about hats the way I feel about men in Speedo bathing suits.   :-X

Lori - what about a Speedo/sombrero combo?  Now THAT would be unique (and stomach wrenching too.)

On a slightly more serious note - How sensitive is the incision as it heals?  Could a regular baseball cap be worn a week or two post op?  Or just loose fitting hats?

I personally wouldn't have worn a regular baseball cap that soon after my op - I only got the staples out 10 days post op and still had a dressing on it a couple of days after that.  The incision wasn't sensitive for me, a bit itchy as it healed - but I certainly left it alone - I wouldn't want anything like a tight hat rubbing against it really.  Perhaps a good rule of thumb might be avoid tight hats until you can comfortably sleep on your scar side?  Maybe 3-4 weeks?  From what I've read though some people's scar stays quite sensitive for a while.  Is it coming into winter where you are?  I'd go for a beanie/toque if you can?  This is a pic of my scar covering head gear of choice on the day I had my staples out (the headband is covering my dressing just before going in to get my staples removed).  It's just a knitted headband - not much good for blokes probably, but perhaps you could get some kind of skiing headband thing?



P.S. Still is taken from film footage so not very good quality - sorry!

DR -
 
I think you'd look stunning in a knitted head band!  Something in a more masculine color and pattern, of course.

I wore a baseball hat when my husband made me go to my daughter's soccer practice the day I came home from the hospital - but it was adjustable and I kept it loose.  Of course, half of my head was still numb at that point, so I probably could have tightened it up and not felt it anyway!

JO, speedos are bad enough at the beach, but they should definitely be outlawed for lawn mowing attire!   :P
