I guess i'll just work harder on the rehab to get back faster.
You need to have a better attitude about the whole thing. You're just going to frustrate yourself if you're worried about getting back to heavy lifting as soon as possible. Concentrate on your rehab. It is a slow tedious process, but you will get back to full strength eventually.

Don't rush back into high risk sports. Just because you have rehabbed and regained your strength, the bone and graft need to fully fuse, and that takes time. No amount of rehab will rush that along.

Just take it day by day. Good luck.
