Answer: You can wear a helmet after surgery but always check with your doctor for a proper exam and recommendations.

It seems someone asked the exact same question with the exact same wording in 2009 if you do a Google search of your question. If you do a Google search you will find your answer as I have.
You need to call your doctor for post operative care and follow up. Your doctor should have given you an appointment to return to have your suture removed. This can be 7 to 14 days.
After a private consultation, any hair surgeon will advice you to keep on with some medicine for a year and then it would be good to consider a hair transplant surgery. As far as I can see 4000-4500 grafts is enough for your head.
