I am now riding a new CAAD12 and it feels wonderful.
Although I still have many problems, such as my left leg feeling shorter than the right, I can't complain.
I may do some club rides and some time trials this summer but I just can can't see myself in a peleton. I don't know if I can ever return. And for some reason I'm not really upset about that.
It's kind of like finishing the last race of the season and you know that the serious hard training is over, and it's all just riding for fun until the snow flies.
Maybe it's just that my time spent racing is now over. And I'm ok with that.

Good to hear you're back on the bike and sorting things out. I know all too well about wanting your routine back. I would say try to savoir every step in your recovery. Just keep doing what you're doing working hard and letting your body recover at it's own pace. Truth be told you really have no choice and being of a certain age the bounce back takes a bit longer.
To put it in perspective I'm recovering from surgery to correct a malunion of a pelvic fracture and a revision of a hip replacement. That was 17 days ago. Spent a week in rehab and got home last Tuesday. The part that really sucks is that I can't put weight on the right leg until the pelvis heals - maybe 5 or 6 weeks. Walking is not an option at this point. All I can do at this point is some range of motion exercises for the hip and core work on the bed since I can't get down on the floor at this point. Using bands for some upper body work and chin ups. Resorting to a hobble around the block on crutches but man oh man I'm kicking the stall big time.
That bruise you have is a beauty all I've got is a 22" incision where I was sliced open like a filet. I'll be back on the bike but I'm looking at middle of August as a best case scenario.

Wow. That is some slice!
Good luck in your recovery. You sound well prepared.

+1!
Best regards

Some people go to crazy lengths to justify getting a new bike!?

Happy to hear that the recovery is progressing well, and even happier to hear that you replaced the Caad.
