the sacrifice

last night Fred spent night 2 of his 3 chemo infusion nights on the floor. I slept all day and was up all night 2 days in a row, and little Miss luLu is patiently watching me from her ottoman. I miss her on the hospital bed, but I know that this means I am healing. She is sacrificing her needs, feeding times, getting regular brushing every day for my pt time and sleep. She also knows being near Fred's chemo is bad for her That is the sacrifice of a therapy companion...and a pet.
