Looking good there with the new hat!! Although I live in Arizona, it's gonna get cold and as my surgery is on Dec 9th, I probably should consider something like this.  And Cap Deb? Did you know that Sept 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day? I am sure you did, because you'd just kill on that day, or any other day! A hearty "Arrrrrr" to you all :)

Wonderful idea, Saralynn - and done in Steelers colors, too!

Looks like Steve has some very good competition   ;)

Great picture, David.  Like others, I think your smile looks fantastic.

Best,

It worked!!!!!  I wore the "magic" hat during the Steeler game last night and the Steelers won!  I guess I should have worn it during the Iowa game, Sara.

Thank you all for your support and your comments.  And Jim, as far as my balance -- still having good days and bad days and I have no clue what the connection is.  Driving isn't getting any easier either.  But I'm sticking with PT until it's resolved.

Have a great week.

David .....

Missed this thread over the week-end .... :(  Catching up now and ditto to all of the others.  David, you look wonderful and Sara, you are incredible in how you help the rest of us in all kinds of ways!

I can identify with the balance ..... some days I am way off for no known reason, then the next day is not so bad.  Guess that is the way it is going to be.  Can never let down my guard, however.  Fell just the other day on the way up our stairs, of all things ..... totally lost my visual cues ..... fortunately the stairs are padded and no harm done ..... except to my pride.   :-[

Thoughts and best wishes,

I don't have balance problems, but I do have a little hill between my front door and the driveway. Usually I bound down it with no problems but yesterday, for no known reason, I slid down on my posterior. Some days things like that just happen. I was glad the kids weren't there to witness - they would have had too much fun at Mom's expense.

I'm glad the hat worked out for the Steelers, David. Do you throw it up in the air every time they score?

Good for you, David and how nice of you, Sara!

I'm so glad you got this one! Now there are two AN Steeler hats; one in an undisclosed location.

Could someone knit me a Cowboy hat (blue and silver)? Maybe that will help them in the playoffs this year.

Great to see the picture and I do hope the balance issues get better too.

I made another black and gold hat as a Christmas present for my niece who is at Mizzou (also my alma mater). From David's earlier post I gather that University of Iowa is also black and gold. I have four purple and white hats to do - my eldest daughter attends Truman State University, a nephew goes to New York University, a niece is at Winona State University and another at Kansas State. Crazy.
