That is so true..."feeling like you can handle it AT THAT MOMENT." My heart and head wants so to be normal and do it! But as I stand, grab the handles of my roller walker, and limp towards the kitchen...and unable to shop til I drop for necessary groceries....Well NOT!!! It has been a major lesson for me to be accepting where I am with this illness. We really understand each other, don't we??!!

surgical mask, lysol and hand sanitizer! I think the worst thing about this disease is....sometimes you feel like doing/hosting something and you feel like you can handle it AT THAT MOMENT....but then you always pay for it later in the evening or the next day(or for several days). Sometimes I think it would be better if you just didn't feel up to doing it in the first place, so it wouldn't make you feel so bad if you chose NOT to do/host something. I don't know if that makes any sense! lol
Yes we do! See my problem is my kids are 13 & 16 so i will have lots of help but my mother in law passed away this summer and she had thanksgiving and christmas every year but now shes not here for the first time and we are the only ones with a place to have it right now. I feel like i have to out of respect to her. I just know to have my girls help with alot and my husband will too.
That’s rite bless u all. Give thanks to so many wonderful things, even in our pain and trials. Can’t do it should be a prescription from the doc so we all don’t feel the guilt! Prayers to all!
There's an easier solution...spray your body with tanning spray...just joking mate :)

So many great ideas:-) i just hope i will be feeling okay for people to come over. Chemo has knocked my white blood cells so low if any of the guests are sick i am in trouble. I guess i will have to spray each person with lysol as they walk threw the door like i do to my kids when they get home from school ;-)
My condolences.... the first holidays after a passing is always the hardest. My prayers are with you. Julie
