It's less than 2 weeks before my wedding, I have a ton of stuff that still needs to get done. And I have pneumonia. I can barely find the energy to stand let alone get out of the house which I can't do anyways because I have a 102 degree fever. I can't hold any food in so I've dropped 4 pds in one day and Im about to get my period so I have a back ache and all I want to do is cry. I'm feeling sorry for myself right now.
Update! Thanks everyone for being so kind. Thank god for Z Packs because I feel much better today. No fever, no sleepiness. Back on wedding track again!

Wallow all you want - you deserve it! Poor thing! Weddings are hard enough to plan without being sick and premenstrual on top of it all . Have you gone to the doc? Did they give you any meds?
Take some Nyquill (sp?) rest so you can heal ! And maybe delegate some tasks to your BMs or FH?
Feel better, sweetie! .

Grab a stack of magazines, haul out the big blankets and pillows and set up camp on the couch and watch The Price is Right and soap operas. You have to feel better when you watch a soap opera b/c, even though you're having a crap time, at least your evil twin sister (who you never knew you had) hasn't suddenly shown up in your town, wreaked complete havok upon you and your family, given you a memory loss potion, assumed your identity and run off with your boyfriend.
wow. it's hard enough doing all that stuff when you're feeling 100%. i agree, try to delegate some items and make sure you get a ton of rest and go to the doctor if you haven't already! feel better.

Oh Collette, that sucks!!! I'm so sorry you're sick and on top of it all you have a wedding to plan! Get someone to bring you chicken soup and get some rest so you can get over this quickly. I'd put all chores and whatnot on hold until you feel better and delegate what you can to others.
This might sound totally weird, but is there anything that I can do to help? I don't really have anything going on right now so if you need someone to help you run errands or pick stuff up I am happy to help out seeing as how I thought you said all of your BMs are from out of town:).

Oh Collette - I'm so sorry That's so awful - I can't imagine trying to plan a wedding and having pneumonia - you poor thing. I agree w/everyone else's suggestions..you should try to rest and I'm assuming you've been to the doctor? If not - go! Also, can FH or maybe your mom or his help out w/the wedding plans? I hope you feel better. (((((HUGS))))
Thanks everyone for you caring words it really made me smile.
Farrah, thank you so so so much. It is so kind of you to offer to help out if needed. The kindess of people on this board constantly amazes me. I do have my FH jumping at my every word and one of my closest friends lives just blocks away so they are both pitching in extra hard right now to help gets things done.
Ok now back to the couch and sleeping my day away!

Oh you poor thing! Lots of rest, and try not to stress about the upcoming wedding (I know it's hard). But we want you to be healthy for your big day!! I'm glad your FH is so willing to help out. Get well soon!! *hugs*

I'm so sorry!! I hope you are feeling better, and be sure to see your doctor ASAP! In addiction to antibiotics he/she can give you a B-12 shot which can help you feel better right away.
oh lordy. i hope you feel better. take a whole day off of the wedding planning, and just veg out. a day of rest wrok wonders for me. mentally and physically. if you have to do things, take care of the phone calls and all the easy stuff. get better soon !
