Don't sweat missing the meetup or sharing the sitch with someone. No point in adding that to the worry bucket. There will be another meetup and folks are gonna talk about what folks are gonna talk about.
The positive side of this for you is that you are being creative in finding potential social interactions, so that is a win. The other positive, is as you share your switch with others and do so as you see fit, it won't matter if they talk about it, because you did so first.
I have actually found many folks supportive of me, as they found out from someone else, but when I brought it up, they were anxious to share support with me. Even some that I would not have thought cared much about me. It is actually a little liberating.
But I do understand the desire to share it on our own terms, but I would say, you did that today.
Don't feel bad, you are making progress and that is something to be proud of.
And thanks for this tip on mixing cold meds. Funny thing before all of this, I was the one that would always check that stuff out as WAW was on so many different meds for things and then would take over the counter as well. Now look at me not even thinking about it. Well, I did it for 3 days and no noticeable side effects, so hopefully I am good. I will be more cautious moving forward. Fortunately I am feeling a bit better today. Just tired and a little weak, but all in all I hope to be back up and at 'em tomorrow.
I will check in with you this evening Phoebe.
