IME, recovery rates are a function of how far you've fallen off your peak and your age.
In my 20's, could go all winter without touching the bike, suffer through a century ride in late March, and be good to go within a week or two.
These days at 67 it's hard enough maintaining condition, and recovering and improving is a slow process. I feel like a dried out rubber band where all the snap is gone.
But, on the bright side I find recovery to be somewhat proportional to condition, so while it may take a while to get to 20 miles, getting from 20 to 40 miles will be much faster (just not like when you were 20).
In your case, the good news is that the injury doesn't seem to be a limiting factor, and shouldn't be one going forward.
Hang in there, you'll be back to form this summer, ready to break something else.
