Hospital over Christmas?

I got a call yesterday asking if i wanted to change my surgery to December 14th. I would leave on Dec. 11th to go up there. Dec. 11th is my mom's birthday. Not a nice way to celebrate it! I am going to say no because as much as i want to be better, i don't think i would do very well spending christmas and new years away from family and friends and not being able to enjoy them!! NTM- I am not prepared to be in the hospital next week! So, it looks like we're still going to be going up there for the Jan. 11th surgery! It snowed today! First time this winter! :)
