Asking for Anointing during Reconciliation?

Hello all, I have surgery scheduled on Monday and was wondering if it would be inappropriate to go to my local parish's normally scheduled Reconciliation time and ask the priest to perform an anointing of the sick over me.

I called the parish office yesterday to ask, but it was closed and I'm not sure anyone will get back to me in time. I know I should have called sooner, but I had an endoscopy a month ago and was told I probably didn't need an anointing at that time, so I ended up putting it off this time.
