How does everyone dilate and work around work hours?

Definitely time consuming and problematic if you have an hourly wage job that requires your full attention to your work during work hours.
Being self-employed and having your own place of business...
...and/or working out of your home is most beneficial for sure.
I wish you well. I trust that you have a employment situation and an understanding boss that will allow for the time required.... and a private space to do what you have to do.
Hugs,
Danielle

It's doable when you're down to three times a day. If your doctors schedule has you down to that level after a couple of months, a recover time of 8 weeks would work well. Just remember that the surgery takes a lot out of you and your probably not going to be ready for work for 4-6 weeks after surgery. Working from home is possible however putting in a solid 8 hours might be beyond your ability at first.
My mistake was returning to work 2.5 weeks out of surgery as I hadn't recovered enough strength. I lived in a constant state of exhaustion and ended up losing my job. Fortunately the missing dilation didn't cause any lasting harm but I was luck.

I went back to work after 3.5 weeks. I had to dilate twice a day at work and did so in my office. I was able to use a lap top and continue working.
