hey. i too had a medical single when i was a junior. i had chronic insomnia for over 7 years, and the medicine i took made me very sick, nauseous, lethargic, etc. i would always try to go to bed early, because i knew it took me over 5 hours most nights (and still now sometimes) to fall asleep, even with my medicine. this became a problem during recruitment when we would be doing our thing until 2 or 3am. i decided to tell the president and recruitment chair (and eventually shared with everyone). they completely understood why i would have to leave early sometimes.

your sisters should be understanding and will probably do everything they can for you. especially that it is a documented illness. if they're not....well...you have some thinking to do. but i can say with 99% certainty that they will accomodate you.

these women are your sisters. being honest and open with them will help form a lasting bond of trust and friendship. good luck. don't be scared to do the right thing
