Today the last of my reactions from the jelly sting were all gone. I feel great! I noticed that my rings were so loose I was afraid I one in particular might fall off. Although I have lost over 75 pounds in the last year, my hands have been so swollen that my rings cut into my fingers leaving deep red divots. Even just a few days ago I had to remove them for fear of having to get them cut off. Now the divots are gone and the rings slide and twist. I need to remove them again but for a very different reason.
The kids flew home yesterday. my daughter Brittany who also has a mast cell disorder called to tell me that before she even got out of the airport she began it stuff up. They went to the grocery store to get a few thing and before she could get home she began to break out in hives. Overnight she got worse and today she has a headache, bad joint pain, and that pesky lymph node in her neck is swollen and painful again. During my weekly call with my doctor’s office I learned that fall flare season is in full swing back home. I’m glad I am recovering here unstead of getting more sick there. I’m not going to lie, I’m nervous about going back. I pray fall flare and cedar seasons are gone by then.
We ran a bunch of errands in the afternoon but made it back in time to watch the sunset. I am just trying to soak in all of God’s beauty. There is a local restaurant we visited last week when my aunt and cousin were in town. They have a unique practice. They celebrate sunset each night by shooting off a cannon. We don’t have a cannon but the thought of stopping what we are doing and celebrating sunset was a pretty fun thing to do. As a photographer I’m envisioning all these pics as massive prints covering my walls. Tonight I am thanking The Father for healing and for the beauty he has created.
Hope and healing,
Christal
