That was hard for me to adjust to.  Friends that I had 10 plus years in the area I live in are the same way.  Friends that I used to go out with.  I stress to them time and time again that all they have to do is let me know is where they are and I can meet them.  My big thing was when I first got out of the hospital, so many of my friends consistently called, took me out, and stopped by.  That wore off really quickly.  I have since made a couple of new friends and decided I wouldn't let it bother me anymore.  Life is too short to worry why people don't want to be involved with me anymore.  I can call them so many times before I feel like I am bothering them because they are never calling me back.

That's my point.  If I do not make any calls, nobody calls me except for a couple of my closest friends from childhood.  It's funny how you can have so-called friends for 20 plus years and as soon as something happens they disappear off the face of the earth especially family members that are supposed to be your own blood.
