The first signs

August 9th started out like every other Saturday in August, we had a family reunion to attend. This reunion was for Jason's mom's side in Kenosha. We drove down early (well, early for Jason :) ) Saturday Morning. We had a great time being with family and playing Farkle. However, something was different that day. I had swollen ankles! I had never in my entire life had swollen ankles so I just kind of thought it was a fluke. I mentioned it to my mom on our drive home and then I took her suggestion and slept with my feet elevated. Weird.
