Update
Hello everyone, I'm here with a health update. My surgery went well on Wednesday with no notable complications. Went in, went under, and stayed for about a day for observation, and I've been back home for the past few days. However, I completely underestimated the recovery post-surgery. I was informed that it would be about a week to a week and a half before I was back to normal, and I made the assumption that it wouldn't interfere with my ability to write.
I was wrong. The painkillers that they gave me make it hard to focus, and my writing has gotten sloppy when I'm on them, if I manage to write at all. Likewise, when I'm not on them... well, pain doesn't really get the creative juices flowing.
So, my return will be delayed for a few more days. Sorry about that. And sorry for delivering the news on Monday -- I thought that it was still Saturday, and I was going to wait over the weekend to see how I was feeling before making the call.
But, to make up for it, I will post a placeholder story I wrote to distract myself from pre-surgery jitters starting tomorrow, so you at least get something from me.
Again, sorry about the extended break -- I just flat out underestimated how the painkillers would take me out of it.

Glad that everything went well.
I’m glad the surgery at least went well.
Take care of yourself, take care of everything important, take care of us. That's the order of importance, always, take as long as you need man.
take care of yourself first, we can wait
Feel better soon mate.
Take your time. When you mentioned surgery I expected you to be gone at least a month to recover. Take care of yourself first. Especially if they prescribed you with the Trinity of pain medication. In which case, have an emergency contact patch with instructions sewn on your clothes. I was a zombie on one opoid, and acted like a meth addict. We can wait
Rest up brother man and you'll be back even stronger. At least they got you on that good shit :]
It's fine take care
Seriously take an extra week or two if you think you need it.
Take your time, man
Hope you get better quickly! Recovery is equally important as the procedure!
Just glad to here your doing better
Take your time, health is important above all.

That's great man rest well and toss the meds when ur done
Awesome to hear there weren’t any issues or complications! Make sure to be careful with those pain pills, and take the time to fully recover!
Stay healthy, take your meds as prescribed, and we'll simply have to be patient, we don't mind.
Take your time, man. In my experience, post-operation recovery takes time and usually far more than they tell you.
Get well soon!
It's all good man, we understand and hope for your speedy recovery.
Don't sweat it I've definitely been in similar shoes before. Take it easy and I hope you feel better soon.
Hope you feel better soon
