About the party...please don't go. No friend is worth getting sick for! I don't want to see you hurting for days because you weren't dressed properly for a cold storm *brrrr* Even here in AZ (don't tell hubby I said this! I'm still trying to get him to move somewhere where it snows cause I adore the stuff!), as soon as the weather changes my fibro kicks in (I must say it hates the heat something awful not just the cold...sorry to get side tracked)...
The point is it's not for you. Your health comes first.
I like Angela's idea...take her out another day! Send her a beautiful card for the day of...maybe even go to her house earlier in the day and drop it off personally. Maybe take her out for a pedicure that afternoon! You are a special lady and anyone that gets to enjoy your company must be pretty special as well...so she's gotta be special enough to understand and love you as you are!
As for losing friends. I know it all too well. No one in my community has called to see how I'm doing following the surgery. And you know what? This is why I want to move. But we can't right now.
I just want you to know I can relate. There are a lot of people here who know how sick I am. All they do is make suggestions about what I should do instead of giving me a shoulder to cry on. They just don't get it.
It's not their fault. But it's certainly not mine! And I'm NOT less of a person because I'm sick...and neither are you! I love you Michele...all of here do...we see how special you are. We might not live next door, but we're here and we get it and we love you for you! And so does Will and Harley *hugs*
The one with party...print out a copy of the Spoon Theory and give it to her. Share it with her...read it to her yourself out loud. I bet she gets it. She sounds like a keeper to you...so she must be. Just my thoughts!
