Oh Clara, bless you SO much.
Sounds like you've had a right rollercoaster of a week. Though I totally understand and know how it is.
When you have surgery...no matter how major or minor it may be on the outside, it's pretty major on the inside. They move your organs around to look etc and don't you go feeling bullied about going back to work. You should only go back when you feel ready and able. Gee's your boss sounds like a right tyke! GRRRR *shakes her fists at him*
Anyways, as for your friend.....maybe she's not contacted you because she feels awkward too? Maybe she feels bad about what she said and feels guilty and doesn't know how to approach you!? Maybe you should write her a letter explaining how you feel etc and get everything out in the letter?! That way your talking to her, but not, it might just be the icebreaker you need to kick start talking to each other again? Just an idea.
I hope it improves for you chickee.
With much love and grace
Lulu
