I have always been physically active. i got sick and was on bed rest for about 5 months not doing much activity. how long before im back in shape?

It depends: Glad you are feeling better and ready to regain your health! start with walking for 20 minutes daily. After two weeks, if you are doing well, then look into an app like gorilla for a tailored fitness program for you! talk to your doctor about any contraindications.
