Good luck to you as well! I hope everything goes smooth and easy. I actually had to cancel my surgery because I just learned that my brother (my only sib) is hospitalized in Virginia for a serious infection in his spinal column. He has many risk factors, and his wife is scheduled for back surgery on Thursday. I am the least urgent/emergent one in the family, so I will postpone to allow time for me to go help care for them. Not worried about a delay, as my original post was a curiosity as to whether my surgery would be premature with only one gall bladder attack! I know this is something I will have to deal with, and perhaps sooner than later, but all things being relative, I need to help the family right now.
