Laying down as an OP factor

There is this Yin/Yang of exercise with OP: the need to build strength (pushing the muscles) and doing it gentle enough not crunch, snap, or crack any of my bones. I'm taking it easy (lot of traipsing hills on long walks and some dumbbells and kettlebell, mat stuff, but nothing with a bar) until I get some coaching from a PT.

I think your approach is wise. There are a lot of areas of health where slow and steady wins the race. And minimizes the risk of doing any harm at the same time. Also it gives you time to understand your own body and pick up the signals from it if something seems amiss.
