Global Entry and TSA PreCheck

Hi all.
Was not sure exactly where to post this so forgive me and please move it to the correct forum.

I found out, the hard way, that my global entry expired 2 weeks ago!
I now have renewed the application but did not realize that the government is asking people to sign up for Pre TSA if you are not travelling internationally any time soon - and I also just did that and have an enroll appointment for next week for fingerprinting etc...
However reading further, they say if you apply for global entry, then you don't need to apply for Pre TSA. EEK!

I now reside in the US, moved here 8 years ago and around 5 years ago applied for global entry which gave me PreTSA but they sent no reminders that the membership is coming to an end. It was recently my birthday and it expired then! Plus I have a few upcoming trips around the country and it is not pulling the PreTSA... now I know why

I also had surgery 2 weeks ago so... this makes it difficult (as I am experiencing) going through the regular/CLEAR line as well since I need to unpack bag, take off shoes etc...

In any event, what will happen? I renewed the Global Entry and also applied for PreTSA separately. Will this cancel something out or cause some issue? I am concerned - not trying to commit some fraudulency...
