October: Down Syndrome Awareness Month

I'm so sorry about your foot. I had to wear a boot for about 3 months several years ago, and I did get tired of it. I have a cane from after knee surgery and I'm keeping it just in case, but I hope I won't ever need it again! Get well soon!

Snooker, I probably should put pink ribbons on my cane! :))

Mpil, I was really lucky that my walking shoes are almost the same height! My spine us grateful too!!

Aren't those boots just the height of fashion? I had to find a pair of shoes (one of a pair) that was the same height as my boot so that I didn't list one way or the other, when upright. And you want to keep that cane - never can tell when the urge to trip someone might come upon you. Take care, Kate

And we have pink taters too. Love it.

Thanks for the thanks, PH.
I AM taking care of myself, PH. Being such a good girl. Wearing my "boot" and using my cane! I resisted the cane for weeks but finally gave in. It's good for tripping other people and for threatening to bash the impudent. I don't even feel sorry for myself anymore! :)))

BROKEN BONES??? Woman, you need to take care of yourself!

Thanks for this post potatomum.

Thank you, snooker!

mpilnadyful, I'm currently nursing a couple of broken bones in my foot, so I won't be there Oct 15. But I'll be there in spirit!

Thanks - I've had an opportunity to become "Aware" of Down Syndrome and it's been a extremely loving and educational experience. In San Diego, the DS Buddy Walk is on Saturday, Oct 15 at the Organ Pavillion in Balboa Park. The event starts at 9am but there's so much to do in addition to the Walk. Come out and join us.

Thanks, spuds.

Thanks, you guys. I don't know how they both ended up in October - but I suppose every month has multiple designations.

I agree with Oddio. Another very worthy cause that we should all recognize and be involved in. Thanks, Potatomum.

I just commented on TexasStar's pink ribbon, and you put up this one, just as high on my list. Thanks, SpudMom.
