I had a full ear drum replacement at the beginning of October. I have no idea if I will be able to do scuba. I blew my ear drum playing with my scuba flippers right in the middle of my cert dives. It had a huge hole in it for 10 years but now all better. Any advice?

I guess that the doctor who operated you, would be the best person to ask - only he knows exactly how your ear looks like now, and whether it is previsible to dive again with it. Although some other people here on DB may have similar experience, it would not be quite wise relying on their advices, since your case may be quite different. You better call your doc and ask.
I agree with Trux.
Hard for us to avise, especially given broad ranges of specifics. ie - have had both knees operated on. On my 1st one I couldn't put ANY weight on it for 6 weeks. The 2nd, I walked the same day. It's definitely advisable to ask your doctor.
