Thanks. I would if I could. There are the health issues, but the big problem is money. I have difficulties just getting by on what Social Security gives me--and there are several other ways the system is set up to keep disabled people in poverty--so a round-trip airplane ticket from New York to California and back, the convention fee, a hotel room for a few nights, and dining out for meals for those days are quite beyond me. (The only reason I got to attend Comic Con in NYC a few times was that I was volunteering to do a few hours working a booth and could just use the subway to get there, and those folks haven't asked for my services in the last several years so....) It sucks.
