Yes, I think most people have had a difficult time with loved ones. They can watch the YouTube series "You look great" that Mark recommends. But even if loved ones don't understand you still are going to have to do what's right for you.

Your New Years plans are putting extra stress on you right now. How do you "know" how your husband is going to feel when he gets home? Is he really that predictable, or are you being too hard on yourself right now, triggered by the stress related to this party?

Everything will be alright. Your husband is an adult and is responsible for his own feelings - you are not responsible for how he feels. Your friends are also adults who should appreciate your generosity for hosting. They will understand your limitations if you tell them but they cannot guess them. If some of them do not understand, then they may have issues.

Two months is early and you are still fragile. Take care of yourself. Don't drink alcohol tomorrow and sleep in tomorrow and let yourself be relaxed. Maybe do some breathing exercises throughout the night and day.

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.

Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
