I hope your surgery goes OK. I noticed you talking about MRIs, and thought I should mention that there are dangers associated with MRI scans where a contrast agent is used (MRIs without a contrast agent are fine, it's where a contrast agent is injected that problems can occur).
The contrast agents all contain a toxic metal called gadolinium, which is supposed to be in a safe, chemically inert form that gets excreted by your kidneys before it can do any harm. However, the pharmaceutical companies must have faked the safety testing, because it turns out that the contrast agents all leak the toxic form of gadolinium, and for years people have been going in for MRI scans and coming out with gadolinium poisoning (with doctors blaming their symptoms on a worsening of the condition they were sent in for a scan for). The majority of people are OK, but a minority are getting sick, and the risk gets higher the more contrast MRIs you have. This is a description of the symptoms that people who have an adverse reaction to contrast agent typically experience:
