....... We could have categories coming out the ying yang! Best recovery, cleanest scars,worst scars { I should have worst wrapped up} medical achievements,awareness awards, and on and on!maybe best blogs posts category and replies most viewed most informed most helpful. and from all ostomy related sites.Help society understand where Health dollars are spent,and the goals we have achieved as well as the goals we are reaching for tomorrow   Awareness of the sponsorships through out the world Educational awareness awards



     So in time we would try to gather regional or and in major center's through out the world to celebrate the strength of people on a mission. to perhaps put a end to all these surgeries. With a super drug or natural remedies, what ever it is, to take us to the next level. Putting a end to not understanding the early stages and treatments available if at all possible. Once a year we would celebrate . Give us a reason to meet one another, other then just at our monthly meetings and gatherings.





     We could start on this site  {if thats legal} to organize some awards of sort,  to be simple to get it off the ground . and see what happens Do it as a team.  A Great Canadian  Philosopher once said "Keep your stick on the ice" I  think it was Red Green .  We could put a new meaning too "brown bagging it" why not!

Nogutz, I'll never think of a 'brown bag luncheon' quite the same way again. Anyway, I want to second Franicaa's nomination for "Most Positive Ostomate". Maybe we can skip the voting and approve the nomination by acclamation.

Hey Noguts, your idea really has a lot of merit, although I'd think Brownbagger of the Year may need a little editing, although it has an appeal that we ostimates could get a hell of a charge out of it, Keep thinking man, you're onto something, Ed

Thank you Prime! It's nice to know when people on here notice, not only when you're feeling down but all the support and happiness you give to other people! I hope I have done enough to earn the award!!

Another award could be "Most Knowledgeable Ostomate"

Franicaa, in the UK Convatec have The Great Comeback Awards for ostomist's you should get a friend to write into them, and write about what you have been through. You never know you could be the next winner.
