My husband and I are at issue about a situation. I broke my leg a few weeks ago and have been home bound every since. At the beginning, many of my workmates came and visted, brought food, sent cards, etc. None of the people that I work directly with have visited. I thought I was particularly close to one of the people and she has not called or anything. My feelings are hurt. My husband says ignore it and don't worry about it. I am thinking I don't want to be friends with this person anymore, not that apparently we ever were. This is my third year in this position at work and I have not been able to bond with these people. I don't know if I am not trying hard enough or that they are just not accepting. Please give some feedback on what I should do.

Let it go and focus your appreciation on the people who ARE there for you. Sometimes the best way to find out who your friends really are is to have a situation that requires them to step up to the plate.
OTOH: Is there anything going on in her life that would be preventing her from supporting you right now? Have you tried to call her?

That is exactly what my husband and other family members have said to do. I think I make my family feel bad because I am focusing on this one particular person even though my family has been wonderful to me. I think I am taking them for granted as we tend to do. I am beginning to think our relationship is one sided because we work in two different offices and I am the one that is always visiting her, she never comes to me unless she needs something specific. Also I moved from one office to another that is a lot further from her and she never visits me at all. So now that I sit here typing I am realizing that maybe she was never a friend anyway just an associate. I don't know what she could be doing that she has not contacted me. I have not tried to contact her because I didn't want to seem needy.
