Bless your heart. I know what you mean. I can't remember exactly WHEN it was that I quit having gatherings at my house but it was for the same reason. Hope you get thru it without too much pain.

There is no reason to stop entertaining. Make it intimate pot lucks for say six friends max. Your friends love you and want your company, they will help cook and take home their dishes too.

You could always BBQ, and use paper plates, say for the same six. Relaxing times and informal get togethers are possible.

Take it slow, and ask for help from your friends if you need it. Pride hurts

Enjoy your company, and the time after they are gone and you can relax......
Take care,

Ok, we've all had our days when it seems enough is enough I can't do this no more. I did that when I left my job. I'm not much of an entertainer, because I've never been into housework, even before the pain. But don't just totally give up what you love. I have to admit I haven't danced much lately, but occassionally I just have to turn on the music and move a little. Like Doug said just adjusted the size a bit or ask for some help, which is one of the hardest things for me to do. But don't give up being the life of the party, just take it down a notch or two.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
