well...its a very complicated situation i wud say as i personally hve experiencedd it...i hve a steady gf n to top dat i share an apt wid my frns..n nt to say the least...i managed hidin it frm thm the whole time...i wud wear a bandana or a hat all the time..lucky for me they didnt really care to ask abt the hat all the time coz infact i wore the hat most of the time while goin out before my procedure...bt ye durin the 5 days of my stay in ottawa for my procedure..i stayed in the motel the whole time watchin tv... so i wud suggest u start wearin a hat most of the time prior to ur surgery so as to get ppl around u see you wid a hat on n nt question ya.......well dt workd for me...m sure for sum ppl too... hope dat helpdd!! don
