Should be resuming normal activity 6-8 weeks from now.
That's great. It's a much shorter timeframe than I had imagined, although of course I have no frame of reference for this sort of thing.

Any plans to supplement with Amplify02 for laser focus and massive pumps during your PT sessions?

LMFAO!!!

We'll see how accurate that timeframe is. Also, I think "normal activity" is defined a little different for the average Joe vs. people whp train! but - one day at a time.

I was going to run a short dbol cycle and stack it with creatine, more creatine, and some additional creatine.
 
Good news and challenging news.

Good news: my progress somehow made a pretty damn big jump in the last 24 hours. I mean, I walked around a LOT today (relatively speaking) and sat a lot and feel pretty good (a little tight).

Challenging news: Supposed to rehab 3/wk for the next 4 weeks and go see my surgeon again early Nov. Couldn't get a PT appt til fucking Oct 26!!!! FUCK!!! Now, I'm going to one of the few places in my area that my insurance allows. And it's the place I went to over the last year, and I requested the PT (Caryn) that I worked with back then. We have an AMAZING relationship and just...click. Anyone here who has ever had to do PT for a long period of time knows how important it is to "click" with your PT. Fuck man, should I call around to other places and take my chances? Or wait it out and try to develop my own routine for the next few weeks?
 
Update:

Walked about a mile today, at a decent pace. Did a few stretches too.

I'm going to call a few other PT places tomorrow to see if I can get in earlier than Oct 26, even though it will kill me to not go to my PT.

Either way, I am starting my rehab/strengthening phase tomorrow. Will begin some light walks on the treadmill with the goal of increasing the speed, time, and incline as time goes on. Am also going to institute some of the exercises my PT and I developed a few months ago. Mostly stretching and core body weight stuff. Some of the exercises:

Glute crunches/clinches
standing BW calf raises
laying quad flexes
pelvic tilts
glute / ham / calf stretches
walking with the resistance band
some ab work, TBD on how my body feels
 
Good luck with the different PT, if that's what you decide to do. I wish I had some insight into whether or not to wait for the one you know (well, not exactly, since that would mean having to recover from something that requires PT... ;)). I recently had to wait 3 weeks to see a specialist for something that I'd initially hoped I could do through my GP and thought I'd go nuts in the interim. But after a couple days it stopped bothering me, and with hindsight it was by far the better option.

So anyway, this is stating the obvious, but it just depends on how much not having professional PT will impact your functioning and the path of your recovery and whether the quality you'd get by waiting until Oct. 28 would be better for said recovery in the long run.
 
Thu, 10/12:

My first 2 days back in work were tough. Of course, within an hour of being back after 2 weeks off on Tues I was told they wanted me to go to a prospective client's office on Wed and pitch them on some new biz. Which is actually a great oppty. Anyway, sitting around and walking a lot around the office for the last few days has been tough. Very sore around my sacrum.

Gym today:

15mins, Level 2, no incline on the treadmill. then some of my stretches and a few of my strengthening exercises (pelvic tilt, glute crunches, BW calf raises, resistance band walking)
