Retinal detachment: when can I expect to ride again?

[fiamme red]

I have severe myopia and have been warned by ophthalmologists over the years that I was at risk for retinal detachment. On Monday, it happened. I was losing the lower field of vision in my left eye pretty quickly (it looked similar to nitrate decomposition of film stock from the early 20th century), so I went to the ER Monday evening. My surgery was done on Tuesday. I can now discern light and some vague shapes but mostly everything is a blur from the left eye. I'm told that as the gas bubble injected into my eye starts to shrink, my vision will improve.

The doctor said that I'm going to have to avoid any exertion for the next few weeks. For those here who have had the procedure done on your eye, how long did you stay off the bike? I'm not thinking about doing any hard rides, just easy riding around my neighborhood or my mostly flat 11-mile round-trip commute.
