Where are my friends???

[beth_67]

As I had posted on the Spirtuality Forum, I am going to Mayo Clinic in June. I have a heart condition, rheumatoid arthristis, and an immune dysfunction. They had created a care page for me to update, before, during and after my visit. We are not sure how long we will be gone. It is all making me extremely nervous! They sent me an invitation to send my friends to keep up with it and where they could post messages to me. I have had only one friend leave a message. The one that I thought was my "best" friend has never even visited the sight. My pastor has visited twice, but left no message. Am I being to selfish, thinking or wishing they would leave some type of message of encouragement for me?

Awwh Beth,
I'm sorry you haven't rec'd very many replies yet, maybe they are just waiting till you leave in June to begin to reply back? I can really understand why you would be looking to their emotional and moral support at this time. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. Feel free to PM if you want a "new" friend to reply back and forth with if that would help. Hugs to you!

I am sorry that you are feeling alone right now. I am sure that your friends are waiting until June and waiting to see how everything goes.

I will be thinking of you and praying for you. Please feel free to PM me anytime if you need to talk or vent or need someone to listen.

Please don't feel alone. There are plenty of wonderful women on this site who will be there to support you and encourage you.

Best wishes.

Beth,
I am so sorry you are going through this right now. I had surgery last summer and I know how you feel, hardly any of my so called friends called or came by to check on me. The only support I really had was my family. I remember thinking all those days of recovery, why hasnt anybody called and check on me. It really depressed me that nobody took the time from my church to call me either. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I will keep you in my prayers. Take Care!!!!!

I think many people read but don't post. You know people are reading and I am sure they have you in their thoughts and prayers. They may also be waiting for you to and to post about your results and findings.

This must be something new Mayo is doing.

Beth, don't give up.....I think the girls here are right when they say that everyone must be waiting until June to post. You must feel so abandoned right now, but I hope you know that many of us here will be eager to hear how you are doing, and will be praying for you, too!

[beth_67]

Thank you all for your replies. I really do appreciate it. I don't know if it is something new or not. They just told me about it when they sent my other information and sent me an invitation to email people. I've done pretty good today. I was out most of the day, but really tired now. I really appreciate your prayers and support.

[charliemae]

My prayers will be coming as long as you need them. *pray*

Hey Beth, just remember that just because they don't post, doesn't mean that they aren't thinking of you and hoping for the best for you. :) They may be busy and not realize what the website is for. I wouldn't take it personal. :)

I hope your visit to the Mayo clinic goes well.

*hugs* I understand this all too well. I'm married to a soldier who's deployed to Iraq right now. I noticed my "friends" slowly but surely closing me out of the circle. Then in April, a week after hubby went back to Iraq after R&R, I had a hysterectomy. I got no calls to check on me, no offers of support, thank goodness at least one of my friends was there to watch my girls and get me from the hospital. It take alot of panning to find gold, and sometimes we have to sift through alot of silt to find the real treasure.
