Update for my adoring fans:
I met with the doc on Tuesday. After blinding me with a gazillion powerful light beams and peering deep into my skull, he declared that "It looks great. Couldn't be better."
Can I wear contacts again? - Yeah sure. Wear them as long as they are comfortable.
Can I do push ups? - Go for it - but ease into it.
Can I ride a mt. bike? - yeah sure - but again, ease into it. Oh - and try not to crash.
Can I surf? - Could you before? (Everyone's a comedian). Same advice - ease into it.
Hooray me! I'll see if I can find one of my bikes tomorrow and go for a spin. Probably a double Whiting loop or something like that.
I still don't have the proper range of motion in my hip to get up on my surfboard unless I ride switch. But my PT is getting me closer to the target and developed a couple of exercises specifically to return to surfing (with my preferred stance). Double hooray!!!!
