I don't think you should feel bad nor feel used. From what you told me it was your decision to give her the time and, from what I read, she didn't ask you to give her time.
I think you did a nice selfless thing :)
As for saving and not squandering Vacation Time for emergencies. To me, emergencies should be outside the boundary of vacation time. Vacation time is just that, time away from work to relax and recharge my batteries. I shouldn't have to use my Vacation time to visit my husband in the hospital or to make plans for operations and such. That's not a vacation. Those things should automatically be given or should be part of sick days that you get.

Although that's if I lived in a perfect world :)
