Morphine + Parnate is fine. I have taken the combination myself, in fact. Morphine is the standard substitute for Demerol.
Same with general anaesthetics; they need to monitor your BP extra carefully to make sure you don't go into shock or something (!) and if pressor agents are needed they need to be careful (no indirect-acting pressors, in particular -- norepinephrine (Levophed) is the drug of choice in this situation), but any decently skilled anaesthesiologist ought to be able to deal with MAOIs.
Good luck with everything.
