...and will be under anestheisa for about half hour or so. Thing is, I feel like I have a case of swimmer's ear. Will this/should this cancel the surgery?

I do not know if it will cancel your surgery but maybe you should call the doctor and tell him today that you have swimmers ear and he can let you know what to do. Or make sure you tell them first thing tomorrow. Well wishes on your recovery

Make sure you report this to the admitting clerk and to the nurses who may see you. It should be reported back to your surgeon if they are at all competent.
Also, it's not a bad idea to take a sharpie marker and write, "Not this foot" on your good foot. Sometimes they mess up and work on the wrong arm, leg, or foot.
Good luck and hope you have a good result.

Only your Health Care professional can give you good advice on that subject. Sounds to serious to ignore or take advice from someone rather than a doctor!

I don't think so but don't take my word for it ...always address concerns that could involve your health or even survival with your Dr.

ask your doctor but I seriously doubt it. Besides, they will give you such awesome pain killers that you probably won't feel your ear.

Don't know, but ask the doctor when you go in.
