I'm with Steve.  Nice hat!

Had one like it myself just a few years ago.

I see a smile, so I'm guessing everything went well.

Sue,

I have to say you look happy and relieved.  It looks like things went well from that smile!  I remember the day of my BAHA surgery (just a little over a year ago) and I felt pretty much the same way.  About three months from now you will, hopefully, feel even more happy and excited on your BAHA gotcha day.

Well, at least one ear was warm!   :D

The smile on your face is a good sign.  Either it went very well, or they gave you some good drugs before you left!   ;)

Let the countdown begin!

Only ANers and BAHA people truly appreciate our "hats" the way we do.  You guys are the best.
And the drugs....yes, they were great!
