I just want to give my most sincerest apology to everyone who came to the English Zoom appointment and nobody was there
I am getting ready for heart surgery on Monday. I was trying to get things done around the house, and get my daily pre-op things done as well, and it completely slipped my mind that I was doing the Zoom today. I even had it on my calendar.

Planning it (zoom) was too close to the surgery date, things happen, everything is a whirlwind when something as anticipatory as major surgery is weighing on your mind, your focus is elsewhere. Not a problem at all brother Jon. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your medical procedure. God blesses and keeps you in his grace, Amen. Looking forward to April's meet up. Take care dude. Aloha!

It's completely understandable that you missed the Zoom meeting while preparing for surgery. Managing HIV care along with preparing for surgery can be overwhelming, and it's important to prioritize your health and well-being during this time. Getting proper rest before surgery is crucial.

It's completely understandable that you missed the Zoom meeting while preparing for surgery. Managing HIV care along with preparing for surgery can be overwhelming, and it's important to prioritize your health and well-being during this time. Getting proper rest before surgery is crucial.

Taking time to recover and heal after your procedure is the right approach. Don't be too hard on yourself about missing the meeting - your health comes first, and the community will understand that you need to focus on your recovery. Remember that feeling stressed about medical procedures is normal. Consider asking a friend or family member to help you keep track of appointments and preparations during this time. Having support can make a big difference in managing everything on your plate.
