Thanks Melbadaze

sawe, I did ask early in therapy and was gently refused as she did not see that it would be helpful. She doesn't have an absolute policy of no hugs (which caused me to try to figure out what could get me one. lol. and yes, I told her I was doing that) and I did offer one and it was accepted when she was going to have surgery and expected to be out 4 weeks. I also admitted later that the hug was as much for me as for her.
So, brat that I am, I refuse to ask again.
