I need some advice from people who have 'been there.' My best friend lives in St. Louis, about 7 hours from my home in Des Moines! She is throwing a 'girls weekend' at her family's lakehouse & is begging me to come. I am DYING to get out of the house & out of Des Moines for a bit and would love some laughter & time with my friends, not thinking about my stupid stomach. I asked my Doctor & he said he would leave the decision up to me if I went & my family said the same thing. Which is nice, they are not pushing me one way or the other. HOWEVER, as much as I WANT to go, I'm a bit nervous.
I haven't been away from my 'safe people' aka my doctors, Grandma, & Aunt since I had major surgery last year. I still have lots of stomach issues, so I'm a bit nervous. I think it would be good for me, but don't know if this is a great idea yet since I'm dealing with so many issues. Anyone have any advice? I could pack babyfood and such along so that I don't have to worry about food & I'm used to vomitting, but there is something different about doing it without knowing your doctor is a 10 minute drive away if needed. Am I just being too cautious & nervous?
I need honest opinions! I do, however, think it'd be a boost for my emotional health!
Hmmm...what to do??
