Why I wasn't at FC
7 years ago
General
So, if you've been following my twitter, you already know... but I missed FC this year. T_T
I was super excited to go; I had panels to run and art for the art show... I had made plans with friends and photoshoots booked. Either way, I did not attend.
Halfway through my flight I got sick. My plane was delayed on my layover, and during the course of the layover my stomach decided it wanted to try gymnastics. First the nausea hit, then I was throwing up, then I was lying on the airport floor shivering and wondering what the heck I was doing.... this is stupid.... I should just go home. So I did.
I rebooked a flight back home and spent the night in a nearby hotel, then flew home the next day - my paws didn't even touch the ground in San Jose.
I won't go into detail of my night in sickness limbo... but lets just say it's probably the worst feeling in the world to be sick in an airport - you can't go home and you can't lie down properly and you're not even sure if you can make it to the nearest bathroom. D:
I spent my weekend contacting people to cancel plans and apologize between sleeping and rehydrating myself. I am feeling a million times better, so no worries there. But, if you were hoping to run into me at FC I am really really sorry - I looked and felt like death, and I didn't want to be that horrible patient Zero who gets the rest of the con sick.
I still have plans to attend Fur-eh and Anthrocon and Dragoncon. So if you missed me at FC, perhaps we will meet some other time. When in doubt, there is always next year!

it can happen to anyone.
too much excitement plus probably something you ate, or didn't.
there's so much you do, i don't know how one person ever does.
we all look forward to you being well.
Hubby was sick a few days before. We thought it was food poisoning, but it wasn't.
Hope you'll go next year
I appreciate the fact you were very thoughtful of everyone health also
we can try for a photo shoot at AC again if you want.
