Driving after surgery |
| You may drive as soon as your postoperative fatigue subsides, usually within about a day or two. Be sure to keep the ointment out of your eyes, and do not drive if you are taking the prescription pain pills or the Valium. Do not drive if you feel your vision is less than perfect. |

|
Alcohol and smoking |
|
Avoid alcohol for two or three days after
surgery. Do not drink if you are taking the Valium or the prescription pain pills.
Smoking is not good for your face, it's not good for your lungs, and it's not good for your heart. Plan on quitting. |

|
Fever |
