Swelling's back, back again, Swelling's back tell a friend...

After making Robbie take that picture down yesterday because of the swelling, I spent some time reflecting upon it...

Yesterday some of the swelling in my face, hands, and feet started to come back and it came back with a vengeance! While I'm not happy looking like I've gained 30 pounds in my face, I realize there is literally nothing I can do about it and the doctor assures me it's just going to get worse. So, I'm going to get over my vanity and trust that all of my family and friends will look past the swelling in any pictures and remember it's not the peanut m&m's I've been craving, just an inevitable side effect.

By the way, if you're wondering what makes this happen, it's the same reason I have all the protein in my urine. My kidneys just aren't working as efficiently as they should be and filtering out the water.

So, be prepared for some larger than life pictures of me soon!

I know you all love me enough to look past it!
