A: You should inform your parole officer about your need for surgery. If your PO won't make an exception, you may need to go back to court to have the judge approve a temporary exception to your housing restrictions until you recover from your surgery.

What you should not do is just move in with your family member because your PO and the judge will view this as you violating probation intentionally and, possibly, throw you back in jail.
