I have a friend who was born a premie - for 4 months, she was in the big bubble thing, and had no human contact at all. She is now 35 and HATES to be touched. But, she hugs her friends, and she offers that hand that calms and helps. Bless you Jo for not being touchy and overly affectionate. Bless you for being there when people need you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03760168439436117581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-32436781314422634972009-11-30T18:49:34.230-08:002009-11-30T18:49:34.230-08:00Hmm.

You might consider including in your next dream what The Ghost In The aforementioned House might end up evidencing - yr mom has adopted Newagespeak - at the idea of ugly facing, floating furniture and new paneling.

I tell myself (every day still) "turn toward the stiff". As in mortuary lingo. Sick humor, yes, but I never forget it.<br /><br />I feel such a connection with you. Been an RN for four years, CCU for three. CV junkie and neuro wuss.

(Really.)<br /><br />I'm surprised there's not a rule, written or not, about not hugging patients or their families. Not that I think there should be, but I'm surprised that there isn't.Mollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-2908250167843365152009-11-30T16:43:40.700-08:002009-11-30T16:43:40.700-08:00I'm a TERRIBLY not-huggy person.

I'm ALMOST at the point where I dont freeze up and glare at people for touching me. :-p<br /><br />I'm sure you'll be AWESOME! stopcocks still scare me.Alpine, R.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02560998014555307666noreply@blogger.com
