Generally it’s reckoned you can lose two weeks without loss of fitness, so if you’re going out in the next few days you can start where you left off - just be kind to yourself and take it slow and steady: if it hurts, slow down a bit more. Personally I do a sneaky 1:1 if I have to miss more than a week, to break myself in gently and give myself some idea of where I’m at. Hope you’re back out there very soon x
