This is my therapeutic heart pillow that I received at Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Boca Raton, Florida, following my quadruple coronary artery bypass surgery on March 9, 2022. When a patient holds the heart pillow tightly against his or her chest, the pillow provides an extra layer of pressure to counteract any jolting from a cough, sneeze or movement. It helps reduce pain because it holds the incision and sensitive skin surrounding the incision firmly in place. Also, when positioned correctly, it helps to relieve pressure on my chest when I sit or lie in bed.
