This is a transcript of a phone call with Anne Sullivan. She has an abbreviated version on her blog, too.
Your first week back, don't play louder than mf. Practice as much as feels good, not burdensome.
Day 1: Play slowly. Use a beginner technique: all fingers on strings, place and hold. Don't practice.
Day 2: Refreshers again. Play quietly. Play your repertoire.
Day 3: Focus on speed, etudes, and another repertoire piece.
Day 4: Play faster, you are almost ready to start working again.
Day 5: Focus on almost everything.
This is day 2 for me, and I played through all of my repertoire, mostly quietly and mostly slowly.
