Help Needed

[Dizmo]

I've put this in the Christmas bit as it is regarding today and tomorrow, maybe even Boxing Day but mainly tonight and tomorrow.

For all that haven't been following my threads lately, I've been in hospital and was released yesterday without treatment so am still suffering with pain and sickness.

The problem I have is that my sister-in-law invited me into a Christmas group on whatsapp (phone app which works like text messaging but uses data/WiFi. It makes sending photo's free for me). In the group was my entire family and my sister-in-law has said how much her and the children want to see me on Christmas day. Not only that but they want me to stay there and eat Christmas dinner. My physical health is bad and I don't know if I should risk even going over because I don't want my niece and nephew to see me in any pain.

What do you suggest I do?
I had considered tanking myself up on painkillers (not ones that were prescribed at the hospital - because non were) and hoping for the best but that won't cure my sickness, and also now diarrhoea.

I know it would be easy to say I'm ill but the kids have been so upset lately and to add to it I haven't bought any presents for them.

Help!

Dizmo, I still think you would be better in your own home especially as you mentioned diarrhoea.You don't want to stuff yourself with a lot of rich food. Years ago when two of my grandsons were young I used to give them each a Christmas card. Inside I would write----'This is to give ??? the choice of one of the following (various items such as a new jacket, trainers, games, toy etc)Then after Christmas we would have a day out to get whatever each had chosen. The memory still lives on many years later .They loved it.
Or you could always put some money inside a card and then ask them round and give it to them. Kids love money!!!. But above all think about yourself ,your health is paramount.
