If I were you, I would air on the side of caution here. Considering your intentions to take on all these activities, I think it is important to have clearance from your doctor first, as to avoid further injury, which could inhibit you from doing the things you want to do long term. I would take it easy until you speak with him, and be sure to follow his advice to the letter, as he will be more knowledgeable of your issue and probably has the experience to guide you to a full recovery.
