Is Smoking Marijuana After Thyroid Surgery Advisable?

Hi i just had my thyroid removed on wednsday i have graves disease as well. I was just wondering if i smoked a little bit of weed during my recovery if it would harm my recovery time or cause any harm or possible infection. It helps me with my graves disease because its so bad that i cant close my eyes i sleep with them open and the only thing that calms them down and stops the pain is a little weed. Its only been a few days since surgery so i dont want to risk anything for temporary relief. But i was just wondering if it was ok or a really bad idea.
