A little look into what goes into making it to an event for a short time as an ME sufferer.
My parents had an afternoon tea for their 25th Anniversary (although technically 27th now, ta, Panini) and I worked really hard to make an appearance.
I'm currently about 3 weeks afterwards and the Payback is lifting, but I'm not quite back to how I was pre-party yet. Still - that's blooming' good work for me!
Two things I forgot to mention in the video:
1. We chose the time I'd arrive at the party very carefully. Too late and I'd already be past my best for the day, and too early and people would be doing their hellos which is very tiring to be involved in. People arrived at half 2 to begin tea at 3, so Tom set off at 3 to pick me up.
2. I mentioned taking snacks because, even with having eaten before leaving and during the party, there was always a chance my blood sugar would suddenly drop. I've overdone it in the car before and got stuck while Mum ferried in biscuits from the house. Now we always take some as a preventative measure.
Special thanks to Tom, who chopped a chunk out of his afternoon tea experience to come pick me up and drop me off again. I couldn't have done it without you! (I did say thanks on the day, but it bears repeating.)
