Thank you again Everybody for your input and for absolutely ALL comments - positive or not, helpful or not very, they helped me to get a better picture of the situation.
All resolved. I'm being told, basically, "do what you need to do for yourself, just stay and do your job at the same level or even better." Means, everybody wins - the boss has an even more loyal employee, I keep my position AND some level of freedom. Will be physically present 2-3 times a week, do small talk, flash tons of smiles, and then go home and actually get something done.

You'll quickly find out how important you are and how reasonable they are.

Can you expand upon what this means in actuality?

Does this mean butt in seat exactly 24 hours per week? (No more, no less?)

Your health conditions do not exist until you bring documentation from a health care provider. Then, and only then, will the employer decide if they will accommodate. Understand, they do not have to if they can prove that a “reasonable accommodation” will cause undue hardship to the company. ADA laws aside, your company’s restriction management policy/program will decide if your health condition is something they can work with. Best to you.
