I hope you both keep getting better and better.  Look at you in the classic pee-bag shot.  :-)   :thumbup;
Hope they sort out the business with the leak soon.    Get well soon.

Actually, I think the pelvic shots of your lovely donor would be very helpful for anyone thinking of donating themselves.  If I was donating, I'd certainly be wondering what kind of scars it would leave.

And you both look fabulous afterward!

I can no longer see it either.  Oh well,  it is a shot of my scar and it does go down to the pubic bone but I didn't expose any of the private parts.  Maybe I will try another hosting site.  It is the same shot as my before surgery shot so I don't get it.  Nothing obscene about it. FREAKS!
