When I left work for my cancer treatment, my coworkers all pitched in to help me pay my rent and make ends meet. (they all knew how disability worked...) They ended up collecting 1000 dollars and it was a first in the plant's history! well, apparently,some of the people in my particular department were offended that I didn't give them a call personally.They even went as far as to say that they felt jipped...that they were over there working and raising money for me, when I was out here living it up! Was I rude to not call work? I thought it was fine posting a big thank you letter/card and updating them through my boss.... I just felt I was on the phone telling the same story over and over and over all day..do i owe them an apology??? |

Oh please !
You owe them nothing. Sending a card/update to all as you did was more than appropriate. If anyone expected you to call everyone with all that you had going on than they are totallyn self absorbed.

thank yous
It is exhausting just getting through each day with the treatments, the worrying, the day to day physical maintenance.Getting to "thank yous" is important but not as important as your healing. I agree that if they gave in love thanks are implicit in your notes and updates. Good wishes on your healing.
