!Super Swollen Sunday!

So last night I had all intentions of heading to church this morning. Alissa and I picked out our outfits (mine to include one of my new skirts from my dear friend Karen) and prepared to be ready to go. Well when I woke up at 0930 I realized I was not going to make it on time. I felt a little stiff and carefully started from bottom to top to move my body parts. I quickly realized I felt like a beach ball! The ROM in my feet was limited and I realized that my hands wouldn't open or close very well. My eyes felt like I had cried for hours on end. I got outta bed and went to the restroom, while washing my hands I took a look in the mirror and SCARY!! I was staring into the eyes of an elephant. I was going to post a picture and than realized that I do not want people to see me as a super-size beach ball lol..I am sure that this swelling is just a response to the total body inflammation that is going on right now.. I guess what the super-duper smart Dr.s call a MAJOR lupus flare up. I have alot to learn and much grace to pray for. Because there are days that it seems near impossible to keep going on...
