I just wanted to share with everyone what a brilliant birthday I had yesterday.
For the first time since I was diagnosed in 2005 the whole of my widespread family and friends arranged with each other to turn up at ours in small groups rather than one big huge amount of people all at one time which has absolutely knocked me out on these big days like christmas and birthdays in the past.
What a difference it made. I had one little group in the morning then rested for a couple of hours then a few more people mid afternoon then another little rest then a few more people in the evening for a take away and a couple of glasses of wine. Brilliant day. We all really enjoyed it. My sons and hubby were so chuffed that I managed to have a really happy day too and so did they.
Happy belated birthday hun. I bet you were so delighted to see everyone & chuffed with yourself too. My niece can have birthdays that last for 2 weeks so you can always employ that strategy too. Its amazing how anything she wants to do becomes a ‘birthday treat’
That sounds lovely Shazzie. I have to say the best birthdays I have had are where I have had special activities spread out over the course of a week, it makes my birthday seem longer It always helps with the fatigue of course. I’m so glad you enjoyed your day. Hopefully your family and friends will do the same for future special days and holidays
