My friend is getting married in a few months and the venue is 4 hours away. My friends and I have booked a hotel for the night before and the night of the wedding and will be going down together. I have recently been diagnosed with a health condition that I am awaiting treatment for, and is causing major fatigue (amongst other symptoms like dizziness, weakness, headaches). Some days I am ok but a lot of the time I am exhausted completely. It’s affecting a lot of aspects of my life as I am spending a lot of time resting and in bed and even small daily tasks can be difficult. It means that whenever I go somewhere, I have to be prepared that I may need to leave early if I start to feel unwell/fatigued. I already missed this friends hen party because of it, so I really feel like I can’t miss the wedding. She is a very close friend that I have known since childhood.
I have called the venue and asked about how flexible their taxi services are and they said as it’s a rural location, they cannot guarantee taxis so you have to book in advance for a specific time. AIBU to be worrying about this? I do not know what time to book a taxi for because I just don’t know how I will feel on the day and what I’ll be able to manage. So I don’t know when I’ll need to leave. I’ll need to be there from 12pm and it finishes at 1am. I was thinking of ordering the taxi for 10 but I honestly don’t think I could last that long. The evening party starts at 8 so I could book it for then but I am panicking in case I feel unwell at say 3pm for example and need to leave but am basically stuck there for hours. I don’t drive unfortunately. I don’t suppose anyone has any helpful advice other than try to suck it up? 😬 It isn’t normal levels of tiredness, it really can make me feel very unwell if I try to push through which is why I’m worrying.
