Don't kill yourself trying to arrive at 6 on the dot, OP. If you're late, you're late. My daughter has had numerous interventions, and they always schedule for an unbearable time in the morning - I remember we had to wake up at 4:30am for a biopsy scheduled at 7am because they wanted us to arrive by 5am. But we always end up waiting for an hour in the waiting room anyway! It's disrespectful.

Bean counter will tell staff to show up. Staff might refuse.

Too late to give 24 hours notice.

Can your partner drive you in?

This, if you can afford it. Good luck, OP!

at 5am. If you are super anxious the hotel idea is not a bad one. I think Uber will be fine too tbh but plan for extra time and possibly higher fees.

I think metro is shutting down tomorrow

I don’t know if they will shut down completely but very likely they’ll shift to a reduced emergency schedule, especially if OPM call it.

Honestly it’s bad out there and it’s not going to get any better overnight. I would cancel.

Your surgeon may not be there!

Long-standing appointment for outpatient surgery downtown tomorrow and have to be there at 6am! Was originally planning to take Uber and partner would pick me up later. Now I am doubting I will be able to get an Uber. Will metro still be running you think? Medical office says everything is a go since the forecast isn’t *that* bad.
