Not so simple: Walking is an excellent vehicle for rehab., but a custom designed program should start now. A physical therapist should evaluate your capacities, strength, and flexibility, and design a graduated progressive program to maximize your abilities but not injure by excessive exercise. Advising you on how to excercise via this format in not feasible due to variations from person to person.
