Well, two phonecalls that have made Conflux more interesting. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mondyboy rang up to see how I was going and to voice concern over me going there. He was worried that I'd wipe myself out getting there and not enjoy/go to the actual con. I know that's a risk, but I've had two cons in my past where I ended up with 'flu or a virus and basically spent the weekend in bed. I still got to see friends I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and that made it worth it.
He also asked if I should be flying. What about the pressure change? Could it worsen the condition?
Oh.
Hadn't even begun to have the merest possibility of thinking of that one. That's a good one. That's a major one. I may be willing to risk severe discomfort going to Conflux, but I'm not willing to risk worsening the condition in any way. He suggested I ring my doc or neurologist and get an answer. Just got off the phone from the neurologist, who said the only risk was my taking a fall due to the giddiness, which I risk every time I go to a doctor's appointment in the car. Or stand up.
So he says I can go.
*phew*
Big thank you's to my special Guardian Angel Mondy for even thinking of this one.
The neurologist told me all the blood tests were clear, asked how I was going, I told him and guess what? I'm getting an MRI! Woohoo! He's going to book me in for one. Coolness!
The other phone call was from Sir Juzzy-Wuzzy Ackroyd, asking if I'd seen the program. I told him I hadn't really looked, I hadn't been contacted to go on anything, so figured I wasn't on anything.
How long have I been in fandom for? 26 years? And I still don't know any better!
I'm apparently doing the auction and two other panels.
Now, the other thing my Guardian Angel Mondy reminded me of is I will push myself when I shouldn't. And he's totally right. I'm a fuckwit. Normally, even if I'm feeling near death, I will do my best to follow through on something that I've said I will do.
Except, I haven't been asked to do these. Or if I was and just don't remember or missed the email (both plausible), it was before I came down with this condition.
So you are all witnesses as I publicly give my wife, Sharon, control over my panel appearances. Sweetheart, if you don't think I should do a panel, no matter how much I think I'm okay for it, or how much I want to do it, I will do as you say on this. We've both looked forward to this weekend for far too long for it to be fucked up because I can't say no.
The panels I can almost certainly do, IF Sharon thinks I'm feeling up to it and I'm not in any pain or discomfort. There's no guarantee that I'll be at much of the con at all. If I'm feeling crap, or feeling like they might exhaust me, I ain't gunna do any of them. Even if I was getting paid, I would turn these down. As much as I love panels, at the moment I prize my personal comfort more. Just not worth it, it'd kill me and I'd be doing a crap job.
The auction... I doubt I will be doing it. I love doing auctions, but they are tiring when I'm in top form. Justin can't actually do it because he'll be dealing at the time. So I'm going to publically call for my friend, protege, con room-mate and idiot savantharveystoat, to come and if not stand-in for me, then at least make sure there's some colour and movement on stage. Because IF Sharon says I can do the auction, I will most likely be doing it seated. And IF I get ten minutes into the auction and start to feel like crap, I will be leaving. I love doing auctions, but if it wipes me out for the rest of the con, it ain't worth it.
Oh, and I publicly declare that, since I wasn't asked first, IF I do the auction, I will be getting a blowjob for my trouble from Magical Trevor :)

It's quite loud with the thumping sound, but as long as you know that's going to happen, it's fine.
My MRIs were the best tests I've had, cause they didn't *hurt*! And for the second one, I got them to show me what the results looked like on the screen (they're not allowed to comment on them though).
Re the con, you're making a lot of sense... it's amazing how sensible we learn to become when pacing and forward planning becomes a major factor in decision making...
It'll be a bonus to them if you manage a panel or two, but the auction sounds like it'd take too much out of you, even if you were sitting down, and it wouldn't be fair as it'd reduce your enjoyment of the rest of the con.

I just had a call from Trevor, saying he'd heard that I was ill and to not do anything if I didn't feel up to it (I think he's trying to get out of the BJ).
The auction... I suspect what I'd do is sit at the sidelines and auction specific items I knew I'd enjoy doing and could get a good price for.
If Sharon lets me *grin*

Have you had blood tests to rule out any weird viruses yet? Some of them can affect your inner ears or nerve sheaths and cause lingering symptoms after they've gone.
Take care.:)

Sounds like it's not anything they were looking for.
If you can, try to get a referral to an immunologist as well (and talk to your neurologist about it too), as your immune system can play silly buggers with very little provocation.
I worry about you, silly - even all the way over here that I am.:>

I get the feeling poor Trevor is undergoing a crisis in organisation, don't punish him too hard - but he is so very pretty, an obvious target for your perverted lusts.
Trevor does have a bit of a tendency to bite off more than he can chew and then chew like mad. I meant that metaphorically, but maybe you'll find out if applies literally as well.

And on behalf of Conflux, I apologise for the surprise. No, not the magical blow job (that one's a surprise to me!), the one about the panels...
From:

Sharon won't be there for the 'So this is your first con' panel... but to be honest, if I only feel up to doing one thing, I'd pick the auction. I'll pace myself and just see how I go. May spend a lot of time in the bar or fan lounge sitting and talking to people.
