Answer
I am not sure why you are concerned now. You did not get Rabies from her. Rabies is transmitted by bites, so she would have had to bite you.
What you describe can be very common just before death. It can be one of the signs of Rabies, but I would need a lot more information and even then would only be guessing.

Not to worry.
