Erin, you are allowed to relax, chill out, "waste time" (I put that in quotation marks because if it relaxes you, helps you recover, or helps you feel better, it's not wasted time), etc. Really. You're still recovering from major surgery. And that, I'm guessing, is why friends may not be initiating events with you--they probably aren't sure if you'd be well enough and don't want to pressure you to do more than you can handle. I think it makes sense for you to let people know if you'd like to spend time with them, since that'll make them aware that you're well enough physically to want to socialize and hurting enough emotionally that you need to socialize.

Speaking of chat programs, do you have AIM/iChat?
