Firstly, I'm quite jealous of you right now *groans in pain*. Good luck!
Secondly, it sounds like a really nice idea, a truly permanent gesture. There may be an issue with it if you get it done just before surgery though. I've heard they ask about any possible/likely sources of recent infection.
Quaternally, since the Pope visited the city last week nothing else has been all over our media. I am quite sympathetic. At least working in a science building at uni means I avoided the worst of the insanity. There was even a massive fire on the same day and it got barely any news coverage at all. You could try telling them you practise voodoo and see if that shuts them up...
