Should Cinderella go to the ball?

Quick query people.

I was started on a two week IV course yesterday.
There is a Christmas Ball at my boyfriends University on the 2nd December.

I've been excited about it for weeks!

But now I'm on IV'S he says he thinks I'm too ill to go.
I've tried to tell him I'm fine but he's having none of it!

I really do appreciate his concern, but I Anna go to the ball!

So in your opinion, should Cinderella go to the ball?!

absolutely you should go to the ball if you feel up to it. Besides, a week into your course you might be feeling a bit better! Don't let boyfriends mother you, it's a slippery slope.

I'd go.

If you miss it, it's only gonna make you feel down. If you go, your gonna have a laugh, which will lead too quicker recovery.

Don't have too much alcohol, and just enjoy the night.

I always go places when I'm on iv's, aslong as I'm feeling up to it. It's true sometimes it can wear you out, but it can also lift your spirits.

Aslong as you feel well enough to go, then you should do

No, I think that your boyfriend sounds like a very clever guy (and probably really hot, too) and so maybe you should realize that he is only thinking of you in his suggestion?
After your IV period, you can go as crazy as you want. But I'm sure all he's wanting is for you to just take it easy for these next couple of weeks...

SO sure, you'll miss the ball, but I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities...

NO no no, GO to the ball! I did it last year and I was actually quite sick, on ivs and had to get leave from the hosp to go. I was tired the next day but I have great photos and memories from the night. (ooh except the temperature!) Life is short, live it to the full!

You have around a week yet,so you'll be half way through a course of IV's which may either make you feel loads better by the time it comes or completely exhausted until you finish the course.I would wait and decide a little nearer the time,but if you feel well enough then don't let a long line stop you.

I know if I was invited to a ball I wouldn't miss it.Any excuse for me to purhase a new dress and a pair of beautiful shoes

My advice, which you are free to ignore.

Assume you will go to the ball. Make all the preparations. Try to plan things so it will be as easy for you as possible - ie have a lift home booked beforehand, and sitting by the phone in case you need to go home early. Tell BF his Cinders WILL go to the ball, that it won't make you ill, and that looking forward to it is giving you incentive to get well fast.

Allow nothing to stop you going, short of being so ill you go in to hospital. If you're too ill to enjoy the ball then you can stay for one dance, then give permission to BF to dance with all and sundry and go home.

I don't know if this advice works for you. I give it as the result of my own experience: I was kept away from many enjoyable events by the fear I would be too tired or unwell to enjoy it. But whenever I kicked myself into going I would feel all the better for having gone.

Take care, look after yourself and best of luck!

Richard.

Hi miss cinders, see how you feel just b4 the party, get your outfit ready and all your bits , you need to live your life within reason, lifes far to short and as somebody else said forgive me i forget the name , you'd regret missing it and the photos you could have ! if you did feel a bit tired you could leave early, but i dout you would, we CF are strong willed and dont give up easily.

I've decided not to go to the ball after all.
I'm having a bit of trouble with this course of IV's and it'll be just my luck that I have trouble when I go to my bf's for the ball. (He doesn't live near to my home or hosp!!)

I hadn't realised just how much he worries about me.

I wish he wouldn't worry so much, for his sake!

So, thank you all for your advice, but I'm going to stay at home. There's always the summer ball, and NOTHING is going to stop me from going to that!

My Grandma and Grandad are treating my bf and I to a meal at a resturant to thank me for not going!!

Message for Arge_101, I love you very much, and please stop worrying about me so much. I'm fine!!!!!
