Today, it's been a week since I've been in hospital. No one has been to visit me. The nurses have nicknamed me "The Lonely One." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm in the hospital and it's been 44 hours since I've eaten anything. My doctors won't let me eat and my parents are sitting across the room, eating. FML
Today, the guy I've been seeing posted on social media about having relationship problems and arguments with his girl. I've been in the hospital for surgery for the past few days and have been unable to talk to him. Before this, he told me I was the only one. Guess not. FML
Today, I'm home alone and it blows, especially since my wife has to stay at the hospital to get chemo, and I can't stay with her. FML
Today, I feel very lost. I have been in and out of psych wards so much. It's so bad, the ER nurse knows me as "the AI coder guy" and the people in the mental health wards know me by first name, and have a "welcome back" thing each time. It's so embarrassing. FML
Today, after I've been nauseous for a week straight, barely eating or sleeping, I was going to see my doctor. She then called in sick and I can't get an appointment for another week. FML
Today, my mother was transferred from the hospital to a long-term care facility. Nobody I talk to at the hospital knows what facility they sent her to. FML
Today, I was supposed to be enjoying a long-anticipated, desperately needed, weekend away. Turns out those "little stomach twinges" were actually symptoms of appendicitis. I'm stuck in the hospital, alone, recovering from surgery, while my family is enjoying our non-refundable break. FML
Today, I'm in the hospital for a broken hip and cerebral hemorrhage, bedridden with a continuous headache. My roommate has dementia and shouts and cries all day about a hospital conspiracy where everybody is drinking tea all the time except her. This will be a long month. FML
Today, I hate fucking existing. I could literally die right now and know one would ever even check on me for months. I’ve literally gone 4 months with no work, locked in my house the whole time, and never received a text, phone call, or a knock at the door. Not a single person thought about me. FML
Today, my best friend of 12 years traveled cross country to help me recover from major surgery. I've been sitting in the hospital by myself while she has sex in my empty apartment with some guy she met. FML

Sorry. I've always had medical issues so it has always been in and out of the hospital. I've only had family visit me, my "friends" didn't care that I was there.

The few times I've been in the hospital I didn't want visitors at all. Maybe your friends don't know you're in there or they assume you want to be left alone to recover. Plus a week isn't that long and people have busy lives. Maybe they mean to stop by but things keep coming up. I know it seems like forever when you have nothing to do, but time gets away from you when you have a full schedule.

I created an FML account just to tell you; everyone is worth more than that. If your friends know you're there, are capable of attending and have not - you need new friends. Real ones. Look after yourself and find some good people.

Sorry you're in the hospital and sorry nobody is visiting too. Hope you get well soon and hopefully some visitors will arrive soon. The nurses sound like insensitive jerks to me.

Hope you are feeling better, OP. Visitors aren't just for cheering up; their presence shows the hospital staff that someone outside is keeping an eye on the patient's well-being. Don't be shy about communicating that factor to others.
