No "Shoutout Sunday" today - sorry (reason: surgery)!

Hello to all the lovely and amazing people reading this, I hope you're all well! :) It's unlike me to do a short(-ish) blog post - they're normally lengthy, detailed, full of pictures, and take numerous hours, if not days - but I'm doing it because I wanted to explain why there is unfortunately no "Shoutout Sunday" today. Firstly, allow me to assure you that this feature of my blog will continue for the foreseeable future, as I still have so many fantastic people to write about! But, basically, I'm having toe surgery tomorrow morning for the third time (third time lucky, eh?!), so I've been busy getting organised for that, as it is obviously very important! Normally I'd do anything to get a piece of writing done and published, including staying up most of the night if I had to, but that's just not an option right now. Walking on a busted big toe is no fun, and is sometimes incredibly painful, so here's hoping that it gets fixed for good this time - wish me luck! :) Thanks for understanding, take care, and I love you all! ^-^ <3

EDIT: After an unexpected turn of events, it turns out I'm now having my minor surgery tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th of June 2015)! Today's appointment was actually just a doctor's referral to get checked out by a podiatrist - which I genuinely didn't know; I had got prepared for surgery - prior to the actual date for surgery at a later time (surgery was always a definite, that I knew), but thanks to a cancellation, it's happening as soon as tomorrow. I'll let you know how it went! :)

EDIT Number 2: As you can see from the picture above, the surgery has now been done, and it went very well! The lengthy couple of injections of local anaesthetic were incredibly painful, to the point of going light-headed and not being able to see; basically, almost passing out! But you have to have that pain to prevent the pain that would otherwise occur in the next bit: when a knife and scissors get used on your toe! Thanks to the "magic" of the anaesthetic, I felt nothing, and so everything ran smoothly from then on. It's throbbing like crazy right now, and the healing and aftercare process is long - a dressing change and saltwater soaking every day until it perfectly heals - but it'll all be worth it to walk properly again forever! :)

Whilst I'm here, I want to say a massive thank you to anybody who is reading this, read anything else on my blog, shared/re-tweeted anything, and/or followed me - it's always hugely appreciated, and I thank you for taking this journey with me! :D <3 So much more to come on my blog in the near future, including a lot of music-related content - like, more album reviews, and my favourite songs list which I've been working on for a very long time - as I know most of you guys always enjoy music posts, so please stay tuned! :)
