NWR: Text Boss To See If She's OK??

So one of my coworkers texted me today to tell me that our director had a seizure at work this morning and she was taken to the hospital.  I'm obviously not at work so the only way for me to have found out would have been through a coworker.  

Since I've broken my ankle and have been home, director and I have communicated, some fun emails (like her giving me book recommendations while I've been home because she knows I'm such a bookworm), others related to work and you were able to feel the tension just by reading them.  (some background, there was alot of concern on my part about my security of my job and so forth.)

Regardless of my personal feelings towards her right now, I do care and I want to make sure shes ok.  Would you text her and even email her saying something like "I heard what happened, I hope your ok.  If you need anything let me know."  

I don't want to make her feel awkward or weird since I know what happened even though I'm not at work.

  • I would too

    You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.

  • I think it depends on the person. I would hate it if someone texted me so soon after a medical issue, especially if I didn't know the root cause of it, and I'd want people to just leave me alone until I was ready to reach out to them. Some people want others to contact them immediately and feel warmly about a fast reaction, but it's really a person to person thing.

  • I would but keep it short.  Something like "I heard what happened and I'm thinking of you."
  • Thanks ladies.  I did text her and her response was well-received and sweet.  We joked about being clumsy but I'm just glad that she's ok, so far.  I heard that there was a blood clot in her lung, but I don't feel comfortable asking what happened.  

    I'm the type of person that no matter how I feel about you, you could be my worst enemy, but when something like this happens, whether its your health or someone else in their family, I always reach out.
