There's no adequate reason they couldn't just bump the Easter Special to the late May bank holiday weekend (Sat 23 May); if he recovers especially quickly they might make the early May bank holiday weekend (Sat 2 May). The Saturday before Easter is 11 April.
Some of his enforced break period is what was going to be his break between Hamlet and Who; they weren't going to start filming until late January anyway. Late January is 6 weeks postop, although I'd hope he'd give himself more than the bare minimum. Even shooting for the early May hol would give him 9 weeks instead of 6.
Three months out from 11 Dec is 11 February... so that's like, what, a three-week delay? There's always prep work they're trying to do concurrently with filming which could've been done in advance if they'd had the time.
