erikainorlando Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 So last year I was in the hospital on my daughter's birthday. That being said I decided to throw a big shindig tonite as I am more able and she is now 16!! I have done as much advance work as possible but this morning we had to get the patio all ready. Straighten up etc. I am always down from about 3 - 5 so I am doing my reclining now. But I did too much this morning and feel awful. My mom is here. She keeps talking and talking. Furhtrmore she is always taken back by my very ill spells...it never registers that POTS means I get ill from being upright and moving...if I don't talk and lay still I will be able to pull something together for tonite....if not I will be in bed at 7!!OK...so I will keep trying to relax admist the noise .. does anyone else feel worse with a lot of comotin? My daughter is a great help and understands...my mom ...well, she never gets it!!So wish us well. I have 35 16-year olds coming in 3 hours!!

iheartcats Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 35! Eep! Try to enjoy yourself as much as possible...it's a once-in-a-lifetime event! You can rest your behind off tomorrow, right? I'm sure it'll be loud, though. 16 year old girls aren't quiet! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Oh my God, Erika~35 teen-age girls? Are you crazy?Yes, I definitely feel worse when there's a lot going on. I feel worse just having to 'entertain' one person, like I have to be 'on' or something. I hope your daughter has fun, and get a lot of pix, but fortunately at that age, the girls will have plenty of fun on their own.Good luck!Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikainorlando Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 They had a great time! I did really well! I rested beforehand and then I sat a lot at the party. I even cleaned up afterwards I was feeling so well. I had a DJ and he played all the young music (which I think is headbanging anyway) at a very very loud level..honestly I must be getting better or at least better at handling my POTS. It is all good considering last year I couldn't walk across my hospital room. I know a big part is having you all to listen to and learn from and occasionally (well more than my fair share for sure) vent to you all!

Tommyhoney Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Good for you, to feel well during your special occasion....I know sometimes that helps me immensely, if I can participate like a "normal" human being, in life things.

iheartcats Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yeah! Glad you had a good time. You aren't even 'that' much older than your daughter, yet it feels like an eternity, doesn't it? My nephew is 13 and it's like I'm a geezer because I've hit the 30.

janiedelite Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yay!!!!! I'm so glad you were able to enjoy yourself, and it sounds like you threw a great party for your daughter even though you are sick. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
