Do I apply for University for this year or next year with COVID going on?

I (F19) was supposed to go to university last September but didn’t because of COVID.

A little context: I’m due to have much needed Jaw Surgery which was supposed to happen last May but has been postponed until who knows when. At this rate, it won’t happen until this year in late spring to summer (baring in mind I need 3 months recovery in time for September).

I currently have a job in a bar that I really enjoy but I won’t stay in forever. Currently, I’m building up money and working my way up the ranks in the business for experience.

If I apply for Uni this year, there’s the risk that my surgery will be around that time. I refuse to go to Uni until I’m fully healed. However, I worry that if I wait to go until next year, I’ll be getting on a bit in age (21 years old). Yes, I know it’s not that old but I don’t want to be wasting time as I won’t finish my degree until I’m 25.

The degree I’ve chosen is Psychology in the Uk. Do I apply for this year or wait? Or any other advice? Is there another way without Uni maybe?
