Recovering from an injury

Hey guys,

I've worked so hard to get fit and healthy and maintain, But until this week, I had an accident and suffering a bad injury.

I had a very hard fall and slipped onto my butt on a very rough gravel surface. So much to the point it ripped my skin, my shorts were covered in blood, and I needed stitches and a bandage on my butt cheek. I spent a night in hospital waiting and getting treatment for deep grazes on my butt.

As advised by the doctor, I need some much needed rest. I asked how long I can rest before getting back to working out. They said roughly a month.

I love and enjoy working out. But I'm scared of losing the progress of keeping fit and healthy. A month without doing seems like torture.

Anyone reading, has anyone suffered with injuries? Did you become unfit over a period of time resting to recover and heal from an injury?
