I broke my ankle and have been out of work for 2 weeks and I'm going to be out for another 4 weeks. My bosses came by yesterday and brought me card, money, food, dog toys and treats, and magazines. This was the nicest thing they could of done and it was wonderful to have company. I'm so appreciative that I have bosses that would take the time and effort to do this. The problem is that my boss sent out an email to my entire department letting them know my status and how I appreciated the monetary gift they donated. I'm so lucky to have a job, coworkers, and bosses that are so nice and giving.
However, now there is one employee who emailed me to ask if he and his wife and daughter could come by and visit me. I've never really talked to this guy socially. We've only talked a handful of times about a project I'm on. I've never met his wife and daughter. He's not someone I would really hang out with socially since he's much older and wears way too much cologne. Its to the point of being sickening. What should I say about him coming to visit me? I don't want to be rude, but I'm not really wanting to play hostess to every co-worker in my condition. My BF says that he's just doing it to look good and he probably won't come by, but I don't want to take that chance.
Please help me find the words to say no to his visiting.
