Surgery and shark week at the same time

I just started shark week (TOM) and I'm having surgery tomorrow morning. I seriously scheduled my entire surgery to avoid this... but here I am! Should I be freaking out?

    No, I went through the same thing. Just tell them in pre op. Sometimes they give you disposable underwear and a pad, sometimes they tell you to put a pad between your legs. Usually they have a big absorbent pad under you anyway.

    No, it's not a big deal. I started mine right on the operating table. And on the bright side, the pain meds you'll be taking should take care of those pesky menstrual cramps >.<
