Sorry for the lack of a chapter this week. I just realized how late in the month it is. I thought my surgery was in two weeks. It's this upcoming Friday. As such, I've had no time to get a chance to write this week with prep going on, so I probably won't manage to get anything out next week. I might try Wednesday, but I'm not sure that I'm in the headspace to manage to write anything with how anxious I am about the operation. So I've decided that what would be best is to say that I will update everyone on how everything went with the procedure on 5/3/2024 and I will give you an update on that day as to when I think I will be back with the next chapter. And if they postpone the surgery date, I will let you know. But until then, I won't be able to post since I won't be able to do much besides be in pain and lay in bed smh.
