Grrrr to a close friend who invited me out last week to have lunch with her on Monday - if not, she would stop by with some fast food so that we could catch up with each other at my home.

I made sure my home was presentable/comfortable enough for us, but I was feeling pretty good on Monday. I got myself dressed and waited for her call. I was really looking forward to getting out of the house with a friend. I waited, and waited and waited all day......not even a phone call. By the time my husband came home that night, I no longer wanted any food or company.

I used to have a lot of IRL friends. When I became sick they told me "I'll always be here for you," but they drifted away because it's not much fun to visit sick people. This friend was the ONLY friend who ever bothered to visit/call me over the last few years, but it's been a while. I have no friends.

GRRRRRRRRRR to amyloidosis!!
