Mr. Fiesta

After my Open Heart Surgery, while in recovery, the Chandler Regional Hospital Staff gave me this 'Heart Pillow' to aid in my recovery. They teach you sort of how to use it to sit up and move around etc. It turns out to be quite comforting in that process, and I became quite attached to mine.

As I understand it, at Chandler Reqional they are made by volunteers, and some are more plain then this one. I sort of like the whimsy of mine though. When my daughter  was able to come in and visit me, she named it 'Mr. Fiesta'. I still find myself reaching for 'Mr. Fiesta' when I am unsure about my recovery. :)

To all the volunteers out there who pay back a little love to society, I salute you.

Cheers, nca

  1. This is a very touching post to read, particularly as I remember a good friend from long ago who shared friendship and laughter and was very much respected and loved by those who knew him when I knew him. It's difficult to understand exactly what is going on from a few thousand miles away, but I wish my old buddy strength and comfort at this time. Neville Jacob
