Hello I wonder if anyone could tell me what to expect with regards to how much time off work to have, if any? I’m a care-worker, more companionship and home-help rather than personal care. I’m feeling very nonchalant about the whole process but now, after doing some research, have seen that I could be in a lot of pain and could have a bandage on my nose for days! Don’t want to scare my clients
