wedding tomorrow and sick as hell help need Advice!

Natalie, on October 8, 2021 at 8:43 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9
Y’all I feel absolutely horrible terrible terrible terrible not just because I am sick as hell with hand foot mouth my whole family came down with this yesterday I thought I could ge tour unscathed !! But I woke up covered up with it this morning constant diahrea and stomach cramps and not to mention the blisters getting worse by the hour my daughter is my best friends flower girl tomorrow!!! And I am the matron of honor 😭😭😭 I have been working on my speech for over a month it is literally perfect and I’m the only speech to be given!! I am freaking out !! I’m supposed to drive in 3 hours tomorrow at 7 am to get there and I am contagious as all get out my parents tell me how roood and inconsiderate it is to spread this to her family especially the ones who are elderly and especially during Covid which isn’t the best in our state - I can’t imagine getting this sick and then getting Covid on top of it - I am battling fevers my 3 year old is pretty miserable too. With fever and I have a 6 month old baby who hasn’t showed signs I’m yet but I’m sure it will hit her tomorrow 😭 as I have it hit me today! I don’t know what to do or say a part of me wants to pray for a miracle and hope this clears by tomorrow and all is well then the other part is realistic and fearing my baby may get really sick tomorrow and need momma she is exclusively breastfed and not to mention how much worse I may be ... what’s worrying me the most atm is my eyelid is itching No blister but that and my chin feel like breakout is imminent but I’m worried my eye may swell shut what should I say - I feel like today is the day if I’m gonna call out I’d rather not ruin her day day of with a curveball like this hell 😭😭😭wedding tomorrow and sick as hell help need Advice! 1

    I am so sorry that you are so sick! You definitely shouldn't go. You can easily spread that to others and you don't want to feel miserable the whole time. Your friend will definitely understand! I know it's so hard to miss important events like this but the right thing to do would be to stay home.

    See if they can facetime or zoom you so you can at least witness the ceremony!

    You definitely should not go to the wedding. That’s the safest thing for everyone. Make a doctors appointment ASAP.

    You definitely should not go to this wedding. Hand foot and mouth doesn’t magically go away in a day and you can still be contagious even if you’re feeling better tomorrow.

    I am so sorry your going through this, I wouldn't go it is highly contagious, We have had it in our house before and it sucks, however, if you can start antibiotics 24 hours after you start you are no longer contaigous

    Coxsackie is very contagious and you should wait for your blisters to disappear and your doctor clear all of you. Take care of yourself. Your friend is experiencing a lot of emotions and stress with getting married, so give it a few days for her to settle in with what's important.

    I understand the disappointment and wanting to be there for your friend's wedding. However, if this pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of staying home when you have a contagious illness. As a previous poster suggested, maybe you can be FaceTimed or Zoomed into the wedding, but it is not safe for you to attend in person.

    Is it possible for someone to hold a phone up to a mic. so you can still give your speech?

    This was my thoughts too!! You definitely need to stay home. It’s a curveball and I’m sure it’s stressful and sad for everyone involved but do not go when you are ill and especially when you are contagious. But I’m sure you’re friend would understand and in the end be grateful that you stayed home instead. Could you imagine being on your honeymoon and being sick because your MOH and your flower girl came to your wedding knowingly being contagious?!? Don’t stress about it and see if you can at least stand in via FaceTime or zoom. And possibly still give your speech over the phone. Heck you could even get dressed up and record your speech and send it to her or another bridesmaid to play for them if they have AV set up too.
