@kristinkay, I was a kidney and liver recipient. I used it to prevent pain and to ease my fear of popping my abdominal clamps after surgery when coughing. It helps to hug it to the affected area,
Please know that I’m thinking of you as you prepare for and under go surgery next week.
Do you know the recipient?

Hi and thank you for your response. Bless you for your linsight! My recipient is my 78 y.o. mom. She is in great health other than kidneys. I don't know what popping abdominal clamps means but can tell I don't want to pop mine, either! I'll be hugging that pillow. Thank you for sharing! My prayers are with you.
