Quote: I DID thank CJ more than once and tried to give him a hug...he wasn't very responsive...I SHOULD chock that up to him feeling sick, right?
So then why did I get this AWFUL feeling???
Okay, just the stress hormones still circling....

You probably got that awful feeling because you were feeling bad about asking for help when he didn't feel well, and were afraid you'd lose all of your data. I'm guessing you were probably doing some negative self-talk about the whole situation???? Were the multiple "thanks" and the hug more to comfort yourself? I'm not trying to be critical. It sounds like you got stressed about asking for his help, and are reading too much into his response. Think about how you respond and act when you aren't feeling well, then figure that he's probably going through the same thing.
Suggestion: Why not write a one or two sentence note for him to see when he wakes up, thanking him for his help?
