From Roar to WAH!

My dearest friends, it has hit me with its best shot.  The Behcets disease has taken over my mouth. I knew it was  going to be bad.  Yesterday my mouth filled up with bubbled blisters.  I slept with a towel wrapped around my neck and beside my face.  I knew the sores would open and bleed.  Sorry for the disgusting visual.  I woke up with a swollen tongue.  I can hardly close my mouth.  My lips are swollen with blisters as well.  I have never had my lips so filled with blisters (inside) that my lips swelled.  I could give Angelie Jolee (Spelling?don't care sorry) a run for her money.  I am in some crazy pain so I will have a diet of Magic mouthwash and water.  Any flavor in food will burn. I would like to say I will drop some poundage but my dose of Prednisone will surely rise up enough to swell my face and body.  It's a miracle drug with huge consequences.  So all this was to say I won't be blogging for awhile.  My organization endeavors will be on hold.  But guess what?  I will have lot's of time with my Bible, assuming I can control the pain.  Please pray for me.  I know He will use this time to slow me down and set a new path of service for me, or at least bring my attitude and priorities back to His will.  I am always looking for a lesson in life.  I will see this vicious disease as a opportunity....hmm like I said please pray for me.  

Ladies, one more thing , my disease is very sensitive to stress and high emotions.  I am going through another phase with my youngest son.  He has truly stressed this family out for the past week.  You can't give him a compliment without him turning around and causing some kind of grief.  I haven't shared the details. Plus, there are other pressures in my life that have been ongoing in our finances, Kevin's job, and other stressful problems.  I have held back in my candidness because they are personal and because they would seem like whining or just plain boring.  Please know that when I request prayer that I am not being selfish or wanting attention. I could genuinely use some prayer now.  This disease has been known to put me in a wheelchair as it takes over my joints.  If the blisters move down my throat, I could end up in the hospital with dehydration.  So your prayers are coveted so sincerely.  Not just for me but for my family as they have to pick up my household duties, and have added stress to their lives.  

Thank you in advance for these prayers.  I am missing you already as I don't believe I will post for a few days.  My laptop I was using died or I would just have to post something, but unfortunately not this time.  I hate to sign off.  I want to say something funny or encouraging.  This doesn't seem right.  I Love My Blogging Friends.  Have a great week.
