Helmet - Brain Tumour

Hello all,

I need to wear a helmet due to the risk of hitting or knocking my head when walking etc due to having part of skull removed.  Currently I have a temp helmet that I have put a cover over to make it less odd looking.   Will have a custom made one in time.  I am still in hospital at the moment.  

I have not been out in it yet and am worried about peoples reactions (it attracting attention to my head, people tapping on the helmet etc).  Just wondering how others have got on wearing a helmet? Any advice?

    It is understandable that you are concerned about having to wear the helmet you need until you have a custom made one.
