She's swell

These pictures don't really do justice to the amount of swelling that Ariane's been dealing with for a while now, but I think they're worth posting. Her swelling isn't as bad as some of the women we've seen, but it's been pretty painful for her.


First, her hands have gotten swollen and her fingers hurt.




Her feet are rough. She had to buy a size up in shoes (although we had heard this was normal, I, at least, thought it doubtful). I hoped she'd get normal tennis shoes, but she bought something squeaky. Plus she can't stand for more than a couple of minutes on tile or something hard.





Oh no! There she is, in the woods!



My feet still dwarf hers, though, which makes me...



Oh yeah.
