Sadly I have lost friends due to inability to participate in many get togethers the invites gradually dry up and before you know it you have lost touch. I don't believe it's intentional they just think she will say no so no longer ask. Of course I'd still like the invite and option to decline, because sometimes I surprise myself and I'm well enough to go.

I explained to her that I have MS and am limited as to where I can go and what I can (comfortably) do.
She has Lupus now and is quite ill. Although she can still drive and gets around fairly well she cannot work and deals with severe fatigue.....something I can relate to.
We had a nice visit and caught up on many years! We used to have such fun as teenagers....shopping and going to the Mall, etc. Little did either of us know how our lives would so drastically change.
We promised not to lose touch again.
