Organ Removal Gifts

What organs can you live without? Spleen, Gallbladder, Appendix, Tonsils, parts of Liver (it can regrow), and reproductive organs. Also you don't need your eyeballs! You only need one kidney and one lung lobe. You can live without your stomach or parts of your colon. They can take your thyroid, but you need a drug to replace that gland's function. What do you give someone after gallbladder surgery? We think a gallbladder plush is a funny gift, but we are biased, of course. Can you say cholecystectomy three times fast? Did you know there a half million gallbladders removed every year in America? It's true. If your appendix has to be removed, what better gift than an appendix plushie to hug during recovery? Appendectomy is way better than your appendix stabbing you with pain and then exploding inside your body. Also tonsil stuffed animals make that tonsil removal less scary for kids. Hopefully their adenoids aren't as swollen as our tonsil pillow. Doctors and nurses will love the tonsil pillow, too! A splenectomy is more fun with spleen gifts, and a spleen pillow will bring on the comfort for your care package. It makes a great incision pillow after surgery. Another great gift idea for your hysterectomy care package is a uterus plushie! So cute and so cozy, and nowhere near as much trouble as the real thing. Good riddance, old friend! Fill your surgery and recovery gift basket with smiling organ plushies and watch the joy spread. Don't forget gifts for your surgical team, your doctor, nurse or surgeon will love a cute organ pin to remember taking your body parts out and putting them in the hazardous waste incinerator! Hospital staff love gifts, too! Thyroidectomy isn't fun, but at least you can live without this gland. And your replacement thyroid will never give you trouble. This thyroid pillow will be by your side forever. It doesn't actually work, but that's what the Synthroid is for.
