I broke my left ankle in 2 places on May 1, 2025

I may not be able to do updates, on a daily basis, for a while. My office is in the basement and I do not work on a laptop. I do need help getting to my office so I will be in there only once per day for now. After June 20, I may only be able to get to my office 2 days a week. I am not sure how long it will be where I will need a lot of help to do what I do. I do know my ankle needs surgery, which is on Friday May 9, 2025. After that, I am not sure what will happen.
