San Ti and hold tree pose i found particularly helpful. daily standing even several times a day but for short periods. i was sooooo weak.
Also very slow forms training. and getting off the meds as fast as possible. i could feel how far i should actually go with training because it hurt without the meds. that was good.
that was 14 years ago and today i am very strong fit and can do anything physically, even take full power shots to the stomach, my doctors told me not to do kung fu for a while but i never stopped.
speedy recovery.

[*]The advice about pole weapons seems good--I've long found that the best way to connect hands and belly. I have a long staff but have not gotten outdoors to use it--the weather has been horridly cold.
