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

May 8, 2025: My computer is now set up in a spare bedroom so now I am able to daily updates. Since I do need help getting to my office and order processing area, in the basement, I am not able to process orders for at least a week or two. After June 20, I may only be able to get to my basement work area, 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.
