how long till you can resume physical activities?

[Guest guest]

ok, its looking as though i will be under the knife sometime early next winter (

around christmas sometime). what im wondering is if ill be able to snowboard

next winter after surgery. how long do the doctors suggest to take off from this

type of activity? i have been riding for 10 years now and really only ride

halfpipe. i can understand having to take off from this for the whole season

since there is a good chance of landing hard from 10-15ft ( which i do on a

regular basis when learning new tricks) but ill have a hard time taking off

completely and not even getting to just do some free riding. im planning to head

out to tahoe with some friends for spring break next year and i really hope that

i dont have to back out due to surgery.

any comments would be appreciated.

thanks.

Jer
