Ordinarily, I am a very toucht-feely person, love to get and give hugs, and
my wonderful family practice doc always give my shoulder a squeeze when he
is leaving the consult room, and I like that.

However, the nurses at the chemo center *insist* on giving me a hug before I
leave, and I HATE IT.  Even thinking about what they look like makes me want
to puke.  Even looking at the bottle of Zofran (the anti-nausea pills) makes
me want to puke.  I've heard some people start puking from chemo as they
drive into the parking lot (before they get the chemo!).  I haven't figured
out a nice way to say "Keep your damn hugs to yourself."  But, I don't have
to worry about it anymore.

Anyway . . . just be grumpy and saying "watch out for hugs."  They may not
be appreciated.
