The expectations that Dr. KL set above were exactly what he told me, and it worked out quite well. I ride a bike, and don't lift weights.
I started taking very short walks within a few days of getting home from the hospital. At first, walking a just a few hundreds yards completely wore me out. Surprisingly, taking walks very quickly became the highlight of each recovery day. We live in a very hilly area and I was able to walk up and down the hills by two weeks post MMA. I first got back on the bike at 4 weeks, and by 8 weeks had completed a 100 mile ride without too much difficulty.
Good luck!!!
