Bumping the Surgery

I started getting sick on Sunday.  Monday I was even worse, so I called and rescheduled the surgery that was scheduled for Tuesday.  I went to the doctor - Upper Respiratory infection.  So there I was laying in bed on Monday and Dr. Stephanie Byrum called.  She did my stomach surgery and her staff told me she didn't do thyroid surgery, so I went elsewhere.  She was calling to tell me that she does a few thyroid surgeries, but she would recommend Dr. Shellenberger at MD Anderson, which is where she is at.  I have been thinking of going there anyway.  It's just weird that she would call the day before I was supposed to go under the knife, and that I would be sick and not doing it!  Coincidence?  I don't know what to do!  I already paid half of the surgeon fee, so I need to find out if I can get that back if I switch.
