My colon plushie stayed with me at the hospital the whole time

I have my plushie since my first colonoscopy (December 2019) and it has been my buddy throughout the years. I sleep with it next to my pillow.

This year I got diagnosed with a dolichocolon (abnormally long colon) so the medical team decided it was better to do a partial colectomy.

My colon plushie stayed with me at the hospital the whole time, it helped me a lot to sleep, and when I was feeling down or lonely I would hug it and feel better.

And each time the doctors and nurses came to my room they loved seeing the plushie so it was a good reason to chit-chat about happy things.
