Glad things are starting to look better for you. I wish my OSS told me how long they really wanted me out of work. I thought I would go back to work within 2 months, I waited 3 months. It was tough the first 3 weeks, but now it is a bit easier. I mainly go to work, PT make dinner and then I am done for the night. I am giving myself a year to try and get back my life meaning: little or no pain, being able to drive more than 1 hour with no problems, carry laundry and groceries and life what I want and not get tired by daily activities plus anything else I want to hope.
Good luck and "keep your chin up" (LOL) Have a great day.
