Alicia, I am so full of envy that I can hardly type. By sheer coincidence, I had breakfast the day after the Hugos in Denver last year at the next table from Neil Gaiman. I also decided not to bother him.
Just so everybody knows, I had to miss Worldcon because I was having spinal fusion surgery. It's been a rough couple of weeks that I hope never to go through again. (Weirdest moment: I passed out while they were removing the staples holding the incision. If you ever want attention from an entire squadron of nurses I recommend that.) The surgery itself seems to have gone incredibly well. It's been only two weeks and today I am actually feeling human again for the first time. There's still lots more recovery to go - fusion can take 12-18 months to fully set - but it gives me hope that I'll be able to attend worldcons in the future, something that didn't seem possible before since the trip to Denver nearly destroyed me. And I have some additional good news that I'll put into a separate post.
