To keep you comfortable during your surgery, strong sedating medication was administered by your anaesthetist. Even though you may feel fine, your physical and mental abilities may still be slightly impaired for the first 48 hours after your surgery. Therefore it is important that you:
- do not drive or operate heavy machinery
- do not sign legal documents or make any important decisions
- do not use public transport alone
- take care when mobilising, especially when you are away from your normal home environment.
