I have a feeling that you e-arranged deck chairs on the Titanic in a previous life! A hat is sooo..... superficial. My scars are my tattoo's (with a story)!

I have lots of hats, but I had to buy something new for this purpose to use for the first few weeks. In the hospital my wife bought me a hospital logo baseball cap from the gift store.

This was perfect for my use since it did not touch the top of my head, and whenever I wore it to the hospital people liked it. My adult children told me it looked dorky, of course. So once my hair grew back the cap was relegated to the closet. Best wishes on DBS. My experience has been excellent. When they got the apparatus all calibrated it was like I had gotten an exorcism

I also bought a hat that doesn’t touch the top of my head. I emailed my doc to get her opinion.
