Recording at home is a good idea, I'm thinking about it....!
I don't miss the setting up, taking down gear, but I think with smaller more light weight rigs and just a few pedals, I'll be boxing clever if I go back to it.
I do miss gigging because I was comfortable playing live. Now that I just work a day job and don't play live, I'm trying to define myself, and don't really know where I fit in, or who I am, or if I am allowed to say I am a "musician"...
I still suffer from GAS, still have too many guitars and amps - but its my hobby and no one goes without food or toys so its all good!
My proactivity since then has been like this:

Now, more importantly, I hope your treatment goes well and that you make a full recovery. I had a brain tumour removed 8 years ago so I know what you may be going through right now. Funny thing, it's one of the most positive experiences I've ever had and I'd say I'm a better person for it all.
All the best to you.
For me this approach ticks all the boxes -
- learning an entirely new setlist and genre
- wide variety of performances
- interaction with a new group of band mates
- you can regulate the workload by only taking on what you can manage
- sense of achievement when it’s done
It’s a lot of effort for each thing and isn’t a scalable approach, and certainly costs more than it pays (I bought a doubleneck for one musical lol), but if you think of it as a hobby it’s great.
