You will be useless for at least 2-3 weeks and expect to pick up nothing over 10 pounds for 6-8 weeks. You will need somebody else to shovel snow.
There are two options the quicker recovery but high risk of happening again at around 50% or take the longer recovery and the odds of it happening again are less than 5%. Take the long recovery cause you do not want to go through it again.

You can finally go swimming to get some activity after about 6 weeks.
