Bariatric Stuffed coughing support Bear

Anyone else get one of these?

We each got this weird stuffed bear with instructions on how to hold him against our bellies to brace for coughing. He's made to kind of fit against you and provide support.

He's kinda fun....wears a little teeshirt that has illustrations of your procedure on it so you can show people with a visual.

Weird, but kinda sweet. He has no butt. LOL And he's kinda ugly.

Isn’t there some kind of law against calling a teddy bear ‘kinda ugly’? ???

I think he's cute- when I had my gall bladder out in the bad old days when surgeries were open I had a chicken pillow. Why did I need one, instead of a subcostal which was more or less traditional I had a right paramedian which meant I had an incision to "splint" when I coughed. Boy Chickie was my best buddy for awhile, think he's upstairs in the toy chest, wonder if he wants to go to Columbus on my Bariatric journey?
