HELP! Don't know if I should be having surgery?!

I don't even know how to begin this. There has been so much going on in my life that I am thinking that it is a sign that I should not have this surgery! Last Thurday my grandmother who has been battling cancer for 10 years broke her jaw eating a noodle. Seriously. The cancer had eaten through her jaw so badly that it broke. Her mouth is now wired shut and the doctors say there is nothing more they can do. That same day my sister who was 33 weeks pregnant started labor and delivered a 4lb 11oz little girl. She will have to stay in the hospital for at least 2 weeks. My mother is leaving tomorrow for a business trip to Florida. We work together at the same school district and they are pulling me out of my job to cover her job while she is gone. Friday is a half a day of school, but because I am doing her job it will be a full day. I had my preop tests scheduled for that day, so I called to rescshedule and there are no times available in the next two weeks. So I had to tell our boss that he will have to find a sub for the half a day. He is mad because there are a lot of people in the district going to this conference and they cannot get a sub for me. What should I do? This is my job, and without it I have got big problems. But if I do not make it to these tests there will be no surgery. Should I even be having the surgery with all that is going on??
