Hello on this fine day ... S-Y Day +3 !   ;D

I thought I remembered someone saying previously that the healing cap was white .... it probably was when first slapped on with super-glue and duct tape.  But since the inside of the turbin was not white ..... well, nuf said on that  ;) ..... I'll doctor it up real nice so as not to arouse suspicion in public places  8) .... no one will ever know  ::)

And Lori .... re the eyeholes in the sheet ..... maybe no eyeholes at all .... then I won't have to see curious faces and answer questions.  Of course it might be a bit difficult driving carpool  ..... but hey .... don't sweat the small stuff .... right?

Ken, I like the bandanna idea .... in something subtle ....

I wish you all a very good day!

Well, the small center circle is white, but not the rest of the stuff protecting the entire site .... 'bout 2" x 2".  That gets changed Thoisday.  Be here in no time.  Till then I'll keep it covered with gauze. 

Keep  ;D- ing!

I'm glad you think I have the heart!!   ::)  Guess I will be checking into a BAHA myself since we will be in a MAJOR medical center!  Of course that will be down the road as I will get the girlies all settled first...

WAY TO GO KAY!   Wish you the best in your baha decisions and search .... but I'm guessin that, with J & L and others chiming in about their experiences, you probly feel real comfortable about it already.  IMO ..... justifiably so ;D

She doesn't really care about the BAHA - it's the Recovery Kit she's after!   ;)

And who could blame her?

Kaybo,
I bet you could squeeze in the BAHA while getting the girlies settled. Sounds like you mulit task very well :)

I can't wait to try the BAHA again in the fall. All the doc needs to do is screw in a new abutment since I have the implant from AN surgery in 06.  He has a new improved one, don't know if it is the BP 100 (or whatever someone says is the new one).  He'll do this when I get my canthopexy. First the face surgery
 So do I get half of a BAHA kit from Lori and Jan???? Just send chocolate!


Things are FINALLY coming together for me. Perseverance, and faith I guess. :) :) :) :) :)

Jan,

I think we need to have that printed on a business card!    We've found our advertising manager!  Should we tell him now that the pay stinks?  ???

Grega -

I think you're watching a little too much of Larry the Cable Guy  ;)  :D

Lori -

I'm not sure it's within our business rules to send Moe just chocolate.  If we start that "tradition" everyone will want some - BAHA or not  ::)

"send Moe only chocolate" ?!?!?!  I didn't mean to suggest that .... sorry if you thought so.  Anyway, rules IS rules, I hear tell, even if only on one side.  ::) 

Jan, be glad to modify that last line if you think copyright laws are a problem.  8)  I'll let you two fill in the blanks.

Pay?  Well, your baha enthusiasm is more than sufficient!  ;)

OK - OK - OK  All seriousness aside!  Tomorrow .... one week after .... I get change of first protective stuff .... can't wait!  ;D
