Neck Hugging

Since moving here, I've hugged more female necks than I ever have.  I do it to help my aides lift me.  It seems to work well.

I also have two male aides, and one of  them doesn't seem to want me to put my arm around his neck, so I've stopped trying.  A couple of the women have been like that, too, which is fine.  I don't do it with Yodit, either.  We never did it that way at the nursing home, and she's from a different, more traditional culture, so I don't know how she would respond to it.  Anyway, she doesn't need the help.  A couple days before she had her baby she was still handling me just fine.
