Hi Sharon,
you can get a very false impression from people that they are 100% better after two or three months. A minimum I have always found has been six to nine months, the people who look like exceptions and go off doing " big and brave" things, invariably have a relapse and have to start at the beginning again.

There are exceptional cases which I can count on the fingers of my hand when people have made a quick recovery but 99% just find that you've got to take your time and build your muscles and stuff back slowly. It's known as pacing

Its Slow And Steady Wins This Race

Give your body time to heal
Best,
Alastair
