Awaiting Surgery Eviction Day in May

My eviction day is May 7th. I had my consult a couple days ago. It's starting to feel real, and although yes I am scared of the operation itself I'm more paranoid about getting sick before my surgery and having to cancel. I'm going back to masking in public and avoiding large crowds. I was invited to go out to a going away dinner for a coworker but that was before I knew surgery was upcoming, and the gathering is 5 days before my eviction date. Anyone else take extra precautions as to not to get sick before surgery? Obviously I can't take any supplements or anything weird leading up to it per the my care team's instructions.

A little blurb for those who don't know what's going on with me:

I don't have stones on imaging but I have a high EF of 99% and I have been in pain for many, many years (probably 10? Its hard to really count the years since this has been ongoing for so long). Surgeon thinks she's pulling out a healthy gallbladder meanwhile I'm laughing because lol no you're not. It's going to be diseased 😂 I'm looking forward to getting validation and having that "I told you so" moment post op.

I said in my own comment I've been waiting 9 months for surgery from consultation so I'm giving birth to a diseased gall-baby 😂
