Chemo Cycle 8, Day 1.
Maura slept through chemo and came home to sleep some more. That, by the way, is the best way to go through chemo--wish it could be like that each time.
While she slept, both at the hospital and at home, Joel took a trip to Mesquite (east of Dallas) to pick up a rescued one-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix we'd picked out online. Originally, we were going to get her a dog for Christmas, but we both felt we had found the perfect match for Maura, so, why wait?
The rescue people shaved her coat when they took her in a few weeks ago, so, although she has beautiful blond, wavy hair, she is currently mostly bald. Hmm...sounds familiar.
Maura was surprised to see the dog when she woke up and even more astonished when she realized the dog wasn't just a visitor but her new companion. Bianca (newly named) padded straight to Maura, whose eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Bianca to her chest.
Perfect.
