Small child's dad spent the day in ER. He gets headaches all the time. Today was the third day of a headache that just would not go away. So the doctors did an MRI on him and saw something. Scary. They then did a CT scan. Small child's dad had to wait for hours for the results. They were looking for tumors or an anuerysm. Well. Turns out he's just fine. Thank heavens. I asked him what they saw originally, to get them to do the CT scan, and he told me that he has a "stressed" artery (can't remember the medical terminology) and that whenever the doctors see that they do a scan. The stressed artery is nothing to worry about. Diagnosis: Migranes. They gave him a perscription. He should be okay by tomorrow.

I feel bad though because he asked me why I didn't hug him when he got home. I'm not a very touchy, feely or affectionate person. He is. I will, however, buy your groceries, pick up your medicines, run your errands, buy you dinner, buy you your favorite chocolate, buy a knick knack that I think you'd like . . . you get the gist. That's my way of showing that I care, but I guess I come off as sort of cold and clinical sometimes. It's weird cause my personality is SO the opposite. I'm approachable, accessable and easy to talk to. I just don't do the touchy-feely thing very well. Even my own Mom says I'm not a very affectionate person. See? My own mom knows. I do snuggle, kiss and hug small child but I guess that's about it. Anyway, I feel like I suck right now because my very best friend needed a hug and I didn't give it to him when he needed it. Sigh. I really suck.
