Question time

[hypatia42]

I offered pets and hugs to a friend who is ill today. He told me that would be not so good and idea right now. The Honey has to be left alone to sweat out all the evil. I am seeing a trend in which I am completely not participating. Thus the question;

Am I the only person in the world that wants loves and pets when I am seriously ill?

Ditto. If I feel kinda punky, headache and sore throat and a little fever, I want hugs and snuggles and kitties piled on top of me. If I'm feeling at all stomachy, I want nothing to do with anyone who is made of solid matter.

Dizziness is a sometimes thing. When I'm dizzy or disoriented, sometimes it can be good to have a friend 'anchor' me physically with touch. Sometimes, though, someone petting or rubbing me at that point will induce this freaky nerve-numbness that I can't handle (the punkin does this especially, as he'll rub my arm or leg or shoulder to comfort me, and it ends up feeling really odd and making the vertigo worse).

Much love,
Rowan
