jesse_the_kETA: Found someone! Yay electronic networks & see you in March
I'm excited about going to the inaugural year of FOGcon, an SF/F con in glorious San Francisco, 11-13 March 2011. "SF/F in the City" is the theme, and the preliminary programming is truly an embarrassment of riches.
I'm a fifties female with severe asthma, CFIDS, and a bunch of other stuff you've never heard of.
I'm looking for a personal assistant (PA). Their job description would include:
1. Push my wheelchair
2. Keep me on an even keel cognitively, which includes taking the lead in navigating airports, noticing if I'm too tired to think or too hungry to sit up, etc.
3. Run errands outside the hotel if need be
The PA would *not* have to do lifting, bathing, toileting or other body care.
I'm willing to pay for the PA's FOGcon membership, the other queen bed in my con hotel room, and airfare (if we start from Madison or Minneapolis). We'd arrive in SF on Thursday 3/10, the day before the con starts, and leave on Monday 3/14.
It's a sweet setup. The down side is, since I need the PA to get anywhere, they must be there ready to get me moving at the start and end of panels. Depending on hotel layout, that could mean they can only attend the panels I'm going to.
If you're interested, reply to this message, which will only be visible by me and you. You can reply anonymously, but please leave a name if you do. Please provide an email address and a phone number, and a few sentences about your relevant experience. (Family caregiving so counts!)
I'm screening all replies. I have limited Internet access so it may take a few days to get back to you.
I need to buy the airplane tickets in the last week in January, so *ACT NOW*
