April the Bear

So this is April, my childhood teddy bear. This dusty, smooshed bear has been in the closet for decades and is finally gonna get a new life. She is getting a stuffing transplant.

(Pre-transplant)

(Her 1970's stuffing had turned to foam dust, broken plastic lining and tiny bits of styrofoam. Toxic? Maybe.)

Over the weekend, doctors opened her up and cleaned out her old, corroded, decomposed guts. She was then re-stuffed and gently stitched back together with loving care. It was a hairy night of surgery, but she is now resting comfortably and out of critical condition.

(An empty shell, post-washing machine)

A survivor! Wow. What an inspirational story. Put your hands together for April the Bear!!!!!!!
