If your friends are that concerned about you, Avery, ask them to chip in and get you a programmable answering machine. Then put a message on it with the current state of your health when you feel too bad to talk, something like "I love you all, but I feel too crummy to talk right now; please leave a message and your name, and I'll call you back when I feel more human". Hopefully they'll still care about you even if they can't talk to you RIGHT NOW. Be glad they care enough to call you; lots of us have lost most of our friends since we became too disabled to do much of anything with them anymore.
