I love Thanksgiving. Love cooking for my immediate and extended family, but this year, it is a daunting task.
That is a LOT to cook to then sit there and watch everyone else eat and you can't eat.
I get no help. I have been in bad pain for a week and it is not letting up.
I have eaten very little and am now going on a water diet until Thursday.
Just feeling frustrated.
Guess I should be thankful I am not in the hospital.
The hard part is my extended family still expects all this from me and does not see or seem to believe the excruciating pain I am in and how hard it is too move around and cook when so nauseated.
If they were here when I was cooking then they would see me puking and then maybe get it, but they show up once it is all prepared, then leave for me to clean it all up.
Sorry for the whining. But no one else seems to get it.

I would think the only thing you could do is start to get them all to bring things and help but that is too late for this year me thinks.
I think I would be thinking about cancelling last minute because you are too poorly to cope. Then they might realise all is not rosy for you. Honest, it could very well be the truth this year with you feeling so bad. Your health is important, don't gamble with it.
Maybe throwing up on them might help them see the truth! LOL!
Hope you feel better!

I did pig out on stuffing. Seems what I ate the most of. Seemed the safest for me too.
