How Does She Know?

So, Chemo #3 was yesterday.  Got there at 11:30, waited to get my stats taken, and my blood drawn, and a urine sample.  That takes about 1 hour.  Finally hooked up through my port and the flow begins.  I was not feeling great - little headachy and stomach issues before even started.  Brought healthy food, pear, dry roasted peanuts, cheese, trying to keep food in my stomach.  Done in 2 hours and if I was not involved in the clinic trial, would have been done in 1.5.  It was very quiet in the chemo room with not many people.  I think the early group already left  and a few came in later.  Jackie was my chemo nurse and lives in Sturgis, and has draft horses  The conversations you get into are very interesting.

Stopped at 5 Guys for a small burger and fresh hot fries.  That was my big meal of the day, came home, and put on my comfy pants and found my spot in my new chair.  Not long after lying there along came Bella, thus my title.  She jumps up, looks me in the face, smelling my mouth, walks over and lies in my lap and goes to sleep.  She did this all afternoon.  The only time she moved was when I got up.  Last night, she slept near my feet, and about 3:00 a.m. she crawled up into my arm pit area, extended her paw to touch my face and started to purr.  Now, for those who know my cat, this is not her typical behavior and purring comes rare and you are very privileged if she does.  She has slept on me during past chemos but this time it was so much more obvious.   Because my laptop is on my lap right now, she is sitting on the couch looking at me.

I knew there was something about this little tortieshell spitfire from Animal Control - she is my little furry Angel.
