It seems that I have found myself in yet another 'mini-crisis.' I've been having some pain in my back and torso area for a little while now, but charged it to many things including:
- stress
- needing a new mattress
- overworking myself
- not having an arch in either foot, and maybe needing to wear better shoes
With school starting on Aug. 28th, and every penny going to this wedding and life in general - getting sick just wasn't an option. This past Thursday the pain got worse, and I requested to go home a little early from work so that I can see my doctor in the morning (remember I work night shift).
One thing about working in a hospital is you can't really fake being sick for too long. When one of the nurses in charge tried to touch me to see where the pain was, I broke down in tears. Naturally this led to me being sent downstairs to the ER. In the ER I was given morphine, and there was talks of admitting me for pain management.
After running a CAT scan, and getting a very limited diagnoses in the ER, I was sent home with prescriptions for pain meds and referred to my primary doctor ASAP. Being high off morphine, and completely out of it, I decided to go straight home and return to the doctor Friday morning.
I went to the doctor Friday, and I received referrals for 3 specialist AND I'm out of work for at least a week pending diagnosis.
The timing of all of this is AWFUL, but I understand the importance of taking care of yourself. This is one of the main reasons why I chose to get out of the freelance/journalism/media/entertainment industry and/or business. With my current job, even being brand spanking new, I have so many options that I didn't have before with regards to job security and health related issues.
While it's going to get even tighter financially than it already is, I'm grateful. Things could be a lot worse. I usually hate when people say that, but I've lived it so I know.
This weekend I was in bed.
I thought to myself, 'well now would be the best time to finalize the master guest list.' I needed to order my invitations over a week ago, and since I decided on the invitations... Why not get the list together??!!?
After finding addresses that were written on random scraps of papers, sent via text messages, emails, and Facebook messages I was able to get 90% of everything onto an EXCEL spreadsheet. According to the spreadsheet we have roughly 100 invitations to be mailed out, and approximately 200 guests to accompany. The problem is we are guaranteed at the venue for 100 guests.
Yeah, so I think we may have a little bit of a problem. I'm not stressing it too much, mainly because we've been planning this wedding for a long time. There are a lot of people who are invited, but to be honest we don't even talk to them anymore.
I've had a few days to think about it, and I'm still not really stressed. While there are a lot of people who are invited, but I am 99% sure that EVERYONE will not be coming.
In closing, time will tell how this all plays about. But I'm still not stressing it.
Sincerely,
The Anti-Bride
