Did it quickly
Having been in a major RTA half way through my licence, a year later they wanted to take the metal plates off my femurs and I was due in hospital for same. The paper ticket came through and I immediately took my wife up for the first time. Two days later had the op, then another two days later, one femur snapped and the other one broke on the way down. Several months later, after I got out of the wheelchair, I had to "re-solo" and got back in the air.
Whatever you decide to do, go flying - you never know what might happen!
