Question for you football (soccer) players out there post surgery

[teslacoil]

I had my surgery 7 weeks ago and have started gradually exercising again. Ive started lifting light weights, jogging, and I played football(soccer) for the first time since I had surgery. I feel like Im making good progress, my chest still feels numb but no pain or discomfort really, and my doc gave me the all clear to play again. My only concern is controlling the ball with my chest, I brought down the ball from a relatively short vertical distance and it felt very strange and uncomfortable, I have a feeling bringing down a ball from a really high distance could really hurt. I even asked my doc about this and he said its fine to use my chest for football. So anyone else have any experience? How long till you could play normally? Ive been fiending to play and dont want to wait or hold back anymore! ( but dont want to mess up my surgery) any advice?
