Swelling

Another symptom of HELLP syndrome is swelling. Evidence of my swelling that had already begun a month early. This photo was at my shower hosted by Lesley Tjaden and Molly Vander Linden on October 12th. I had 3 weeks to go at this point.

Look at those arms! They are so big they could be served on a buffet line, and you could eat on them for weeks. Imagine what my ankles looked like! I should have saved a picture just for notoriety sake. 
And PLEASE don't patronize me and try to tell me otherwise. It cannot be denied.
