They care, Avery, remember that. I know a lot of people who don't have friends that call them anymore and they are very lonely. So, while I understand that your pain is so bad, you don't want to talk on the phone, be aware that you are 'lucy' that you have friends that DO care!
You could also get a hands free phone....if you DO want to talk, and cannot hold the phone. I used to be able to put the phone between my head and shoulder and talk for hours....no more! The hands free only cost about $20...and you can clip it on your belt.
Hope you feel better, Avery!
