Welcome, Aelfaba!
How are you feeling now? Do you still have symptoms?
You sound nervous about returning to work. I don't blame you - 4 hours a day is a lot to jump into. However, it can be helpful to get a little bit of stimulation. You should probably be mindful and self-monitor (without being anxious), paying attention to any symptoms. If they return, take a break until they subside. If they keep returning, you probably need to stop. I think that's how you'll find out how you do with the screen time. Try not to worry in advance, but it's good that you are aware of how concussion recovery can be a non-linear progression.
Don't be hard on yourself. Keep us posted!

About me: Married 45yo mother of two girls. In July 2014, I hit my head on the side of the pool; since then I've had 3 lesser concussions, one of which was due to MVA.
For the 5-10 years prior to that I’ve had what I now realize were possibly 20+ undiagnosed concussions or sub-concussions. Likely most of these result from Duane's Syndrome, for which I now have prism glasses. Have successfully done vestibular therapy and plan to start vision therapy.
Current companions: Significant depression, anxiety, hyperacusis, difficulty with verbal expression (recall & word mixups), mild spacial/vestibular issues. Feelings of disconnect in relationships.
