Am I too cautious?

My brother is taking me to surgery on Monday 8/1. The plan was for me to spend the night at his house on Sunday since he lives so close to surgical center.

I called him yesterday and he has a cold. It kept him home from work.

Now I'm wondering if I should look for another ride. I don't want to be recovering from RNY and fighting a cold as well.

Am I overthinking this? I wouldn't care any other time, but I want this recovery to be as smooth as possible.

    It's reasonable not to want a cold while you're recovering. Some would even say it's wise not to want... If only for your peace of mind, have someone else take you in and get you out.

I called the nurse and she said it wasn't a concern at all. I may just spend the night at my house to limit the exposure and he pick me up the morning of surgery.
