Special Occasions

Yesterday was my little sisters wedding and I was a Bridesmaid
 It got me thinking of how sometimes there are events that we know will make us have a bad day/ week/month after but do it anyway because the joy it will give us is worth it .

Even the week up to it had made me rather ill, things like rehearsals ect had got me feeling ill so I had spent as much time in bed as possible on the lead up to her wedding because I knew it would make me ill but it was ssooo worth it

I spent the night before with her and took something to help me sleep so that I would be as well rested and prepared as possible , ate very healthy made sure I was hydrated and had all the medications I could need.

The day was amazing , My sister looked stunning and I watched proudly as She married the man she loves,
 A fellow brides maid helped me to walk down the isle behind her  , I sat down as much as possible but of coarse tired quickly and was in pain ,
 I also had the pleasure of meeting a man who is a good friend of my sisters who also has ME/CFS it was so nice to talk to someone who knows how it feels we seem to suffer from it to a similar level He had traveled far to come to her wedding but it tired Him out , Hubby gave him a lift back to his hotel for the night .
Around 6pm I began to slur and was extremely achy  so my Husband and I left once the cutting of the cake was done and we had watched them have the first dance.

In pain and very tired I went straight to bed and fell asleep , sleeping on and off for the rest of the night , However I did manage to fall over on the way to the toilet at Some point in the night.

Today of coarse I am not well .. at all  bubbling body , numb head , pain  slurring , dizzy , extreme fatigue ect

My point in telling you all of this is to say that for me anyway , there are times in life when I will put the joys in life first, If I had missed her Wedding I would f felt worse emotionally than I do do now physically ... I do not regret Going , If this is how I had to feel today to be a part of that fantastic day , Im more than happy to do it .
