They don't really care do they

I find it’s always the same naturalblonde the more you do or have done the less you get appreciated especially when you are older. Following an accident on Coronation Monday I damaged my spine and hip and am now disabled and housebound,
I can count on one hand the visitors I have and that includes family. If it wasn’t for paid carers and the district nurses I could go for days without seeing anyone.
Like you I was the one everybody turned to if they had a problem medical or otherwise but some people have very short memories.
I’m not moaning, I do have a couple of good friends who are very good to me but I don’t like putting on them as they have busy lives.
Thank goodness for gransnet as reading the posts makes me realise I’m not the only person feeling this way.
I hope you recover soon from your surgery ❤️😄

My husband had a medical "procedure" involving general anaesthetic last week.
He'd told his mum beforehand, told her when he'd had the pre-op appointment and told her when he was going in.
She hasn't phoned to see how he is 🤷

And yes he's always done a lot for her.
