I would consult my doctor. The one time I had a broken bone (in my wrist), it was in a cast for six weeks. FWIW, three years ago I had a back operation to remove part of a ruptured disk. My surgeon, who had some experience paddling a touring kayak, told me I could start paddling again in six weeks and start rolling again in eight weeks!

Since I have a trip planned to the Azores in late July, I wonder if I'll be able to paddle. I would appreciate any advice, recommendations or advice.
