Nurses going on strike - will they cancel my abdominalplasty?

Hi all, Well I have 12 days until my abdominalplasty with Dr. Cahill at Mt. Clemens General Hospital in Michigan. I have been trying to keep my nerves calm and then I decided to watch the news last night. They had a story saying that the nurses at MCGH are going out on strike in 10 days. Apprently they have not had a contract in over 6 months. Does that mean my surgery will be cancelled? Will we have to cross a picket line to get in? I can't imagine a major hospital shutting down or cancelling that many surgeries. I have heard they may call a temp agency for nurses and use nurse practitioners. Should I be worried? My husband says we have 12 days until we know for sure and I should try to be calm. Just looking for some input. Thanks. Kristin
