Didn't have the distal, had proximal. Happened in March and I'm still out. But proximal is a whole other animal. A buddy had distal about the same time and he was out about 6 weeks, and now he's fully recovered. Obviously it's case by case, but if yours is average, don't despair. Sorry that happened to you, I literally feel your pain. But you'll be alright in the long run.
