You didn't say how old you are or if the doctor has you on pain killers. Your writing is good so I'll assume you are not heavily medicated.
As others have said - Stay off the tractor or you will likely need to re-do the whole surgury and forced time-off all over again! You know you can run your tractors in your sleep and sooner or later you will hit the clutch with the sore leg without thinking and wipe out all the doctors work. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that most of us have tried to get back to doing things too early after surgury and we are paying for it for the rest of our lives.
After this is over you will think of many things that you could have done, but didn't.
This might be a good time to do the jobs that you hate to do when the weather is good: Do your year-end book-keeping; Start on your taxes and get your refunds back earlier; Peel the potatoes for tonight's supper; then sharpen the kitchen knives; Clean-out your computer hard drives and back them up; Make sure you have a recovery disk made for each computer; If you are due for a new computer, phone or other electronics, get it now and learn to use it while you have the time; Do the excercises that your doctor prescribes; Read what interests you, books, operators manuals, etc.; Write letters or e-mails; Invite friends, family and neighbors over to visit. Ask them to loan you some magazines and books that they liked. Work on some puzzles, games, etc. Organize your pictures and look through old photo albumns or old letters; Plan next spring's garden, field crops, or livestock herds. Sort out those clothes that you never wear anymore. Think about what hobbies you would like to try if you had the time, and try them. Look up your favorite movies and old TV shows on Hulu.com, TV.com or Netflix.com and watch a few of them.
Do some long-term planning for later in-life when you retire or if you cannot continue in your present line of work - then follow doctor's orders and take care of yourself so you still can still do whatever you want for as long as possible.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: 1964 JD 2010 Dsl - Part 2 - by Jim Nielsen. Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
