15 years ago I had a bi-femoral bypass performed. Had an incision from my sternum to my pelvis and an incision about 7" long inside groin on each leg.
That took 3 months before I was allowed to return to work with light duty. In all honesty it took the better part of a year before I felt I was back to full strength and didn't hurt.
Now in April I had an open heart bypass. After 3 months the surgeons and my cardiologist said I could start to resume normal activities. Trust me I was very apprehensive the 1st time I went back to the range and was prepared to go home early if I needed to..
I too agree, take your time and heal completely before going back to the Big Guns. The force and shock can re-damage the injury.
