When you came home, how did you “operate yourself” did you have someone to help you?
My wife babied me for a while. After about two weeks, that stopped. Daily walks were important for recuperation. After six weeks I was able to gig.
It took maybe three months to be back to 100%.

Your ribs are going to hurt. Your “core” muscles will need to mend.
They will get you up and walking pretty fast. But moving is going to “smart” for a week or so.
