[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right or wrong, I wouldn't be all that consumed with checking on a friend who had an elective surgery to address what sounds like a normal wear-and-tear type of injury.  Chemo, radiation, surgery on a major organ, sure.  [/quote]

Yeah, I think there just may be simple difference in perspectives going on here.  I would not necessarily check in on a friend after elective (presumably safe) surgery unless it was a friend with whom I was in continual contact (which for me is really only a handful of the closest friends).  And with respect to these closest friends, it would be weird not to mention/ask about the surgery simply because I would have probably texted them several times in the two weeks anyway! And I absolutely would not expect y friends/acquaintances to check in with me if the situation were reversed.  I just don't think everyone sees this as as big deal the way you do OP. And it is totally fine and reasonable that this is your perspective--but I don't think it is as universally shared as you think.[/quote]
