Just curious to see if any other Dec bandsters live in a severe weather area and have thought about severe weather occuring on surgery day. As you may know, the Mid-Atlantic thru the Northeast got pummeled by an early winter snowstorm and knocked out power and closed off several streeets. Because we have surgeries scheduled during a winter month, have you given any thought about what would happen if you or your surgeon couldn't make it to the hospital on surgery day because of foul weather? I lived through Snowmaggedeon a few winters ago and recall that many folks (myself included) became housebound for a few days because the roads weren't cleared. I don't have a "Plan B", but am praying that God bless me with clear blue skies and unobstructed road conditions on my surgery day. Would love to hear your thoughts on the issue.

There are a million things that can happen to change your plans. You can't stress out over all of them. Just relax and prepare yourself for surgery. If there is bad weather that day or anything else.....your surgery will be rescheduled and everything will work out for you.

I know it's a possibility but am not seriously worried about it.

I live in Oregon - it's highly unlikely that we would be in dire weather ... although it has happened before! I'm just hoping for the best!
