I just don't understand this! If the situation were reversed and my friends were sick... I'd be trying to at least keep them company? Take them for a drive when they have been stuck in the house for months with little to no human contact.
I live five miles from my "closest" friends and only one has been to visit me. One of them had the nerve to say "well we have our own lives to live." - I'm glad they are able to continue on with their lives. Its not like I expect everyone to stop by everyday but once a year would be nice. Once a month would be better...
I've also heard "our schedules have not worked out" - well lets see... I'm free all day, everyday and you are busy going on with your life while I'm stuck in hell. So yeah...
But I guess I am lucky to have the two people that care after all these years of chronic illness. I just expected more out of people for some reason?
