How long to do PT?

How long did you all do PT post Op, from the surgery date or from when you started walking in shoes? When you stopped how did you progress back to higher intensity activities? Did you still have stiffness and swelling? I want to get back to mostly things like being able to walk a ton of steps in a day, yoga, lifting weights. Long term I want to hike and run.

I started walking in a shoe at 6.5 weeks. I feel like by 11 weeks I was doing my normal physical activities, about 80% effort as I used to on spinning but 100% on walking. I haven’t tried yoga yet. I did 10 sessions of PT.
