After 6 weeks you are free to do anything, but you most likely don't feel really like going all-out at once. At 3 months out, I was already feeling good enough to say that "life is good" and do almost anything.

Hi Blizagga & Joolsy
thats incredible, back at awork after several weeks, Blizzaga you felt ready for anything after 3 months. I see you had the Active-L disc, did you have it done in the UK? is three months the norm, are you fully healed at three months or is that more like the six month period?
