I was so afraid of this. I am in no way insecure, but as some ribbons are

spoken for as being aligned with their cause or mission. i.e., pink for

breast cancer, red for Aid's awareness and rainbow for PFlag or gay rights.

That is all I meant. Sheesh! >>

na,

You are so correct. The public's recognition of ribbon colors and their

meaning are quite clear. In fact, the different groups that claim these

colors would probably object if another group were to use " their " color, no

matter how innocent the choice. I do think the idea of a ribbon to designate

Dr. R's patients is a great one! I love your suggestion. Besides the colors

and their suggested meanings, I love the idea that the three colors together

indicate celebration. And this surgery is certainly a reason to celebrate.

I also want to personally acknowledge you and your wisdom. Keep it up!
