Um, I did my Day 1 last Tuesday and my second workout will be on Saturday. Do you think I should go through with it, even if I still feel sore? (That'll be hard to do, and I might get injured)

You still have a few days to Saturday. The worst will be over by then as long as you have been disciplined about (a) rest and (b) diet. Make sure you get enough protein in your diet to assist with recovery. Doesn't have to be a protein shake, can be some milk, cheese and nuts (but be careful if you already have a high fatty diet). Try contrast showers (google it: basically hot shower to get the blood flowing; then switch to cold over the body area) to improve circulation and get nutrients to the area of the body. Some very light static stretching will also help with circulation - don't go over the top though.
Some soreness on your 2nd day is fine. If you think it ruins your stability then either postpose for another day or perform with less volume. I cannot give an opinion as to which is more appropriate without seeing your condition on Saturday. But just take it easy, follow what I say and be optimistic about working out on Saturday. You'll likely be fine- your body will adapt.
