Bloatedness - Tummy and Feet

Seems to have gone back to the previous size. As you can see from the pix - her tummy is almost similar to that of a 3-4 month pregnant lady. Mainly air / gas trapped within along with water. Because it's so enlarged (tummy) it causes back pains and stretches the skin so much it becomes dry. We apply moisturising cream to both feet and her tummy in the evening.

Her feet has remained bloated similarly. It's an interesting pix you see above. You can't even make out her veins and ankle joints. It gets a little pain in walking since the skin is quite stretched. She sleeps with her feet raised on a pillow at night.

I leave you with the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:1

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."


We remain focus on what He has in store for us..
