Well Saffy, the thing of it for me came down to BLAST: Do not Bend, Do not Lift, and neither shall you STRETCH, nor Twist. These simple four principles easily remembered on top of be good to yourself, for you have had the surgery which is the end of the line so far as surgeries to attend to your issues...... borne in mind will carry you along a cautious healing path until your doctors begin to allow you to make additions to your regimen and about the same time will prescribe physical therapy as a post surgical means of care to properly take you along the path of restorative care.
THEN after sufficient time you may be allowed to join the likes of KZLRogue, who has been Golfing!
Sound like a plan?
Praying for ya,
