Husband had it done 8 years ago. Just a few hints.
Get something tall to set on the table to lift the plate closer to your mouth because you will not be able to bend your neck for a while. It makes it much easier to eat.
If you wear bifocals you may have to adjust your computer screen so you are not tilting your head back to read. Better yet get reading glasses when you are on the computer.
I think recovery may take longer than you think. Don't push it. You will probably have the collar on for 6 weeks. Then your neck muscles have to strengthen again.
Just our experience.
