All told, my sister was in the hospital for several hours less than two weeks. I spent almost all of that time away from my home. Most of it was at her house, but for several days at the end I was staying across the street from the hospital. (There's an apartment building set aside for the loved ones of patients who don't live in the area.)
At no point in that time away from home did I sleep well. It's over a week and a half since I got back home, and I'm still not sleeping right, which leads to not eating or drinking right, and also getting my medication schedule all screwed up. Which is part of why it's been over a week and a half since she got out of the hospital and I'm only just now publishing a post saying she got out the hospital.
So, all of that said, she seems to be doing pretty well, though she's actually back in the hospital today for minor surgery.
The day she got out of the hospital she gave an interview to a woman named Donna Perry. You can read the resulting article here. You can also read it in several other places, which come up well before that on Google, but that's the newspaper Ms. Perry actually writes for. There's some stuff in there that I didn't know about until I read the article myself.
People have a tendency to want to help someone after something goes wrong, and if you can afford to and you want to, there are three ways you can do that.
The thing that would (probably) get her help the fastest at the moment is this Amazon wishlist, since if you pay for something on there it'll be shipped straight to her house right now. She had me set up Paypal and Ko-fi accounts too, but I don't have the information needed to connect those to her bank account, so any money donated is going to have to wait until she gets around to that. (If you happen to be reading this in January, though, presumably that's been done.)
On the subject of Amazon wishlists, anyone reading might have noticed that everything I've been writing has had an MLP bent for over two years now. If you'd like to help me in that arena, I set up a list that has reference books along with a few RPG things that I'd use as reference books.*
Lastly, puppies. Thirteen were born the day before my sister's birthday. These were taken when they were three days old:
* I mean, I could try to use them as intended by actually running a game, but:
a) I've never done anything like that before
b) I'd have to wait for my sister's younger two to be old enough. (Once upon a time I was told eldest loved all things unicorn, but if it was accurate, it appears to have stopped being true since then.)
