How long should I take off before starting to workout again?

I had a very easy time with mine back in May. Really never hurt at all. I took a few days off from intense exercise but I started being pretty active the next day. That next day I mowed the lawn and then went out that evening with my wife and we were dancing. Honestly can't remember how long I waited to lift heavy again. Probably a week or two and just did a lot of rucking in the meantime.

First 3 days are the ones you don't want to move. Follow the orders even if you are feeling good. I heard horror stories and it is ok to take a few days off. Mine was smooth and followed docs orders on movement. One guy got aggressive on activity and had elephant sized balls.

Looking back at my running log, I took 8 days off from running (which felt like an eternity)
