I received the Apple Keyboard. Can we work on it this Friday or weekend? or even tomorrow night? I have a headache.
can you give me some of the prompts to try or should I scroll back and try to repeat a bunch of the prior ones with the key board plugged in?

I think you want me to reinstall X, 2nd option down?
I will wait a bit to see what you say
Yes, I am happy with the files you helped me recover. Shouldn't be anything on there that I didn't get on that other drive we got

Try this
If your Mac is formatted with Mac OS Extended, you need to enable journaling on it before installing macOS.
Go back to Disk Utility, select your startup disk, and click File > Enable Journaling from the menu bar.
After that, you should be able to reinstall macOS.
