You have to do what you need to. I would just ask if there isn't a way to push yourself beyond this limit to do this for someone else.
Molinit, that's exactly what I'm saying too....the other thing I'm saying is that I'm chronically ill and sometimes that doesn't cooperate with what I want to do. And driving 3 hours at night while it probably rains is no small feat either.

I know the friendship would be changed. But it's not like I have much control over it. What you're saying is very much like asking a person with MS if they could just get over it for a night and not need a wheelchair so they could go dancing.

But he said they are driving back to California, so I'm wondering if instead he would meet me for brunch tomorrow up here, because it will be on his way back home.

I do understand what you're saying, but if he's a friend who's been keeping up with my Facebook at all, he'd know that I'm in really bad shape right now.
