Well it's been a confusing few days here. Yesterday was the churches sweetheart desert, where you get to take you significant other and have chocolates, and cheesecakes, and watch the pastor sing. I ended going because my neighbors think I need out more often (which is true), so I took my best friend and we ended up having fun and it was something I won't forget. However, and there is always that however or but somewhere I just couldn't keep my mind there all the time. A friend from college ended up crashing her car the day before and apparently she had internal bleeding which took an 8 or so hour operation to fix. Normally I would be up all hours of the night talking to my friends and such to keep them calm and stuff, thats one of my major problems. I would rather take theres on than deal with mine. So this time, I told them I couldn't because of my recovery process but I'm still with them, they just have to believe and stick together. After or during surgery she fell into a coma and now it's just a wait and hope game. My friends feel like I leaving them and I don't know what to do for once. So I told them to be there for her even though she is under she knows you are there trust me, I was once under. And just pray, that's all we can do it's God's choice now. I just hope I don't lose here because I don't think I can handle it.
Does it seem like I'm being too mean to my friends because I kinda feel I am but I don't know what else to tell them.

I don't think your being mean at all. If you don't take care of u, how can u help others? I think what u said to your friends about your own recovery was fine. Stop feeling guilty. Prayers for u and ur friend, hugs, tedi

I think you are doing the right thing by everyone. You still looking after yourself and praying for them.

This is pretty heavy. You have seen your friend being put into a life death situation. I don't know your mental condition. If you have the strength be there for her by just holding her hand. You dont want to be saying later life I wish I was there for her. Again if your not mentally stable for it, then this will be tough. By giving her smome thing from you. Your friends will know your heart is with your friend. God Bless. Mike

You're not being too mean. YOU MUST take care of yourself and do what you CAN for them, without sacrificing yourself.

You are obviously a caring soul or you wouldn't be so upset over your current circumstance,which is limiting you to be up all hours of the night, to be stronger than you have the strength to be, for your friends.Please be gentle with yourself as your own recovery is vital. You will be no use to anyone if you don't recuperate yourself. My prayers are with you and your beloved friend in the hospital. God bless you both, and all involved.

Thanks to everyone that has replied this is so hard because she is all the way over by Colorado border and I'm stuck in Topeka so I can't hold her hand but I wish I could, but I also worry that if I went there I would take care of everyone there instead of myself. Damn tricky situations.

Well I got the call I dreaded today, my friends brain started shutting down in the middle of the night so they had to pull the plug on her despite the prays so it must be her turn. I just I don't know what to do or say at this moment I'm lost just an update for those that keep askin how she is.
