Dewar Day Drama...Help.

So, I ordered 2 vials this month and they are set to be delivered on Wednesday, march 28. But now I find out that my father has to go in for open-heart surgery that day to replace his defibrillator. And naturally, I want to be there before, during and after.... Sometimes it helps to know people are waiting and pray....I'm sure we can all attest to that.
But what about the dewar?! FFhas my O date calculated from april 3-7. So what do you guys think? Should I move my dewar date up or back? asked my dad and he was like there's nothing you can do just go home and wait and I'll be fine. He's so cute. :cool:
BTW, the surgery is at 6 am...and will probably be about 5 hours. What time do your dewars arrive, TTCers? Early, late i the day? I know there a confirmation tracking number but since its really just a time window, it probably won't be to helpful. I want to make sure I'm here when it arrives.
Now call me neurotic, bmy neighbor across the street is a registered nurse and a great friend, I know that she would stay here and sign for the delivery if need be. But the thing is.... I feel like its my baby already. I dont want it moved or touched or sitting so where hot, etc.
Now it's one thing if I screw it up...fx crossed I dont....but if someone else was resposible and damaged my "goods", I'd be furious. Beyond furious.
So? Opinions, suggestions? I'll even take a snide remark or two just for fun but please.... ....help me!

I hope your dads surgery goes well. I would feel the same way as you - you couldn't make me leave that hospital! I'm sorry you are having to go through that. Best to you, your dad and your swimmers!
I also live in a relatively excluded neighborhood. But that can also be a downfall because my house is in a gated community, UPS would still have to be left in them in from the front gate.
So the plot thickens...if no one answers then they can't come in .
And also, I live in Florida so I'm thinking leaving the dewar on the porch is just too risky. If they thaw, I'll be devastated.
As for delivery, I would postpone it a few days because you may not even O as early as April 3 because of the stress with your dad's surgery also. How long have you been tracking your cycles? Is FF pretty right on with projected dates?
Well, I've actually only been charting for a month but I'm pretty fortunate because I can literally tell you the second I ovulate...and my temps and opk was positive confirmation. I can literally feel it....lol like that creepy little boy in Scary Movie. Heh.
And I just recently lost my best friend, my baby girl.... My 9 yo Chihuahua Chanel. So I'm inconsolable already and there'd are a lot of major pressures in my life right now. But nothing more important than my baby's passing and my dates surgery.
I've recently asked a friend... Do you think grief has the same effect on ovulation?
the thing is my 41 day cycles are soooooooo long ...I'd have to wait to try again until next time; that seems like forever.
Well, it seems like forever for all of us I'm sure.
What do you all think, should I move back my order more....? ::whines:: I always seek the
wise advice of you TTCing pros.
