They were our prize for meeting the Health Expo attendance!  I picked a blue one.  These ones come with a back to store it in.  I already had a green one I received from the my unit back in 1995 when I first went to in center hemo dialysis.  You can order them online.

I've been using a buckwheat pillow for years, in fact I have three of them and I take one of them when I travel. I'm not sure if they are the same as these, but the theory behind them is the same. I love them.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
