Help In Healing: How a Personal Injury Attorney Aids In Your Recovery

Physical trauma is a stressful thing to deal with in many ways. Not only do you have to take a little bit of time for yourself and tend to your injuries, you also have to cover the medical bills somehow and see to it that whoever has wronged you is brought before the hand of justice. If you’re chained to the bed for the time being, doing all of this yourself makes it nearly impossible to succeed. Luckily, you won’t have to, because a dedicated personal injury attorney can assist you with your case.

You shouldn’t have to cover your medical bills all on your own

If another person has caused you harm that resulted in injury and medical bills, you should never be forced to cover them yourself. Putting it another way, if your situation came to be through no fault of your own, you are within your rights to seek compensation for it. The same goes for first aid costs and transportation costs. However, you should make sure to have all the needed bills and receipts at hand, since you’ll need them to prove your case in the court of law.

The 5 Bras Every Woman Needs in Her Lingerie Drawer

You have a diverse closet – it runs the gamut from cocktail dresses and dressy blouses to boyfriend jeans and t-shirts. You have an ensemble for every kind of occasion, which means you should have a bra for each one, too.

Whether you’re sporting a tank top and shorts or a little black dress with a plunging neckline, wearing the right bra underneath can make or break your look. But, with so many options out there, how do you know which bras are truly essential?

Make sure these five bras are in your collection, and you’ll be set for any style situation.

T-Shirt Bra

The epitome of versatility, the t-shirt bra is one you’ll definitely want in your rotation. Look for one with seamless cups and straps, as you can wear it under a form-fitting tee or tank worry-free.

This is a bra you might want in multiple colors, given that it’s kind of an all-purpose, ultra-comfortable style, and just because it’s called a t-shirt bra doesn’t mean you can’t wear it under other types of clothing. Definitely consider investing in a nude one, as it can be worn under white and lighter colored tops without showing.

Birth Story Number 2 – A Planned C-Section

This time around my birth experience was going to be better. Planned. Calmer. Better for all of us. You can catch up here with my first birth story with baby girl.

Planning the birth started nearly 5 months previously. I saw a consultant who went through all the risks of a VBAC with me and we both came up with a plan much safer for baby and myself. This was to have a planned c section. My blood loss the first time around was much too high of a risk to try a VBAC and then if it happened to turn into another emergency c section was not worth it.

There and then back at the start of December I got my date through for the planned c section. I knew the date of my baby’s birthday! April seemed so far away at that point.
