Description

This is ME. . . or at least a stylized version of me. Everyday I have a swollen abdomen with pain, and no one has been able to discover why. It's been almost 3 years now and it has only gotten worse. As of today, June 16, 2011 my neck, face, feet, hands, and ankles are now grossly swollen. I am a balooned version of myself. I hate it. It's hard to find things that fit. People think I'm pregnant...and I'm 50 years old! Look closely and you will see my tears. I don't have many because I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome...but it doesn't cause swelling. I cry alone and often ask God why. He simply whispers that it is not for me to know the reason at this time. I will trust Him and hope that my experience will help someone else in the future. But for now, I will hold tightly to the hands of "Sorrow" and "Sufferring."
("Sorrow" and "Suffering" are 2 of the main characters in my favorite book, an alagory by Hannah Hannard: "Hinds Feet on High Places."
