I hope you are recovering well from your surgery, a phone call or get well card would have been nice, just to show they care. take care of yourself, your friends are perhaps just giving you time ,and will contact you soon..

now is the time to expand your horizons, find new friends, or at least social contacts.
this lot are the original fair-weather friends.
and use you as a source of information.
next time they try it, just sound vague and say, i don't know, i need help myself actually.

I had surgery 3 weeks ago. It was a routine keyhole surgery and I am still recovering.

None of my friends or in-law family have asked how I am, not once. No messages or phone calls.

Now I have a medical background and I'm the first one they contact for any advice (which is usually "see your GP"). I visit when any of them have been in hospital and I visit once they are home.

The friends are friends through my husband but we have been together for well over 20 years, and they will tell others that we are friends.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today. They just don't care do they.
