Almost a decade ago I got really sick right before a flight and stayed with my friends. I showed up a few days later with my ticket and a physicians note. The agent waived the reticketing fee.

In the current climate I wouldn't chance it. Even if I was at death's door I still would try to get on the plane. I have no confidence the airline would show any sympathy this time around.
