how do you continue working whist covering up your HT? Do you wear a hat? What kind of job allows a hat? Or do you just tell your co-workers what's goning on. How do they respond?

Lots of threads about that in the other "New Topics" section. Most guys take 2 weeks off to allow for the redness to disappear and the staples/stitches to be removed. After that, buzz cut (long enough to hide the scar though) and if your doc is top nobody will notice anything. Worked for me. I went back to work straight after my HT but I can wear a hat without anyone finding it weird. Dropped it after having my staples removed (Day 14). I certainly wouldn't tell my colleagues about it unless I was asked. Only my wife knows.

Check out a derby hat--- they are in the fashion now and look good.

If you you get a bd one you will be wearing a hat forever.
