Post Surgical Shower Accessories..

I haven’t updated in awhile because I’ve just been tired. A few things have happened since my last update though, so I’ll share.
I went back in on Wednesday of last week and the doctor performed liposuction on my left breast to drain out a lot of blood. Seems the 10cc’s at a time was a [...]
