Have someone drive you for your procedure and be there to drive you home. You are legally impaired for 24 hours after the sedation. The nurse came out in the waiting room and met my driver. Some clinics will not do the procedure unless there is someone to take you home. Nurse told me in the morning she had a guy who insisted he was fine and she had to go tell his wife under no conditions can he drive for 24 hours. Even if you drive and someone else hits you it is your fault as you are not supposed to be driving. Three years ago when I had my first one I thought I was fine until I walked out in the parking lot went to step over the curb and fell flat on my face. I thought I broke both wrists. So no driving. If you want to try something after sedation try typing an AO thread and see how many mistakes you make.
