I just answered a somewhat similar question here, so this may help - http://www.hedgehogcentral.com/forums/11-health/179274-hedgehog-after-surgery.html
Make sure you ask your vet for aftercare instructions - find out side effects of pain meds & any other medications, ask for anything to watch out for with the incision & how long it should take to heal, find out whether you need to go back in for stitches removal, and how long to keep the wheel out.
I also had a thread going regarding my hedgie Pancake's health issues last year & discussed her surgery & aftercare & such on that here - http://www.hedgehogcentral.com/forums/11-health/136185-pancake-s-health-updates.html
Good luck, I hope everything goes smoothly!
