Hello, I'm 27 and have a scheduled surgery for Otoplasty on Jan 14th, 2013 with local anesthesia...I have a concert to attend 5 days after surgery (Jan 20th), I really don't want to miss this concert as someone gifted me the ticket and I can't move my surgery date. Will I be ok to attend the concert if I'm very careful? Thanks in advance for your help!
