If they give you general anesthesia, make sure to get someone to
drive you home, and don't have anything planned for the next day or
two. I had that when I got my wisdom teeth taken out, and I didn't
feel a dang thing during it, and not much for hours after (I was
really out of it). So, yeah, take time off, but don't try to start
working on the stuff until maybe after Christmas, if you don't do
anything before the surgery (cause who would want to work on
Christmas?), cause anything you do then might be a
little...interesting... But, anyways, good luck with that, I hope
it goes well, we want you to be okay, vision wise, and get some more
of that good art out! Take care!!!
