I love the idea of the tatoo. I too can’t wait until we have an approved design.
Mangamel - look at the groups -- I don't know if there is an art group yet!
Janice:
It could be years before a design was implemented - produced and marketed - I would go get my own personally made up TN Tatoo if that is important to you!!
Well, I agree on the lightning bolt! As many of you do. That seems to best describe what we feel first! Them comes the shock of diagnosis & the shock of surgery! I have a photo of a beautiful girls face & she is crying tears of blood. That’s how sad my pain makes me feel. Thank god, I have you all here! As for the colour, I’m not sure as there are so many other causes with their own colur ribbon! Maybe it should have more than one colour or a print?
I think we also need a bracelet! I vote for whatever design we get for the ribbon on a bracelet.
I like it when someone sends me to the dictionary as KC dancer did with stippled. I wonder why I've never heard this word before.
In my Navy days, I was a Communication Technician. Our insignia, worn on the upper arm was a lightening bolt and a quill. Little did I know the lightening bolt and quill would return with a vengeance. Lightening bolts across my face and a quill to to write the meds to quiet the storm. I'm thinking about getting a TN tattoo. Anyone got one yet?
I like some type of rainbow. We cover all the emotional colors with this disorder. But I'm reluctant because I love rainbows and would not wish to relate a beautiful rainbow to TN.
Right now I have a stippled nerve in my face. Feels like a group of tiny dots pushing against the edge of the nerve trying to escape. I've seen lots of wrist bands but no stippled ones. I thinks Kc's idea is a good one.
