The first one of those are 95a which is not too soft. Most modern wheels are around 99a-101a. Cruiser wheels wheels are really soft @ 78a-80a. The older Powell formula runs a little soft so those 95a's seem like 93a or so.
The other two are 90a o...
Here are some more options. Check them out. These are some New Old Stock (NOS) wheels. If I remember right that the wheel face does come out past the axle nut and should work well for you.

If they have you in Physical Therapy, do that with all the energy you can. You will get back every once of effort you put into it. PT is why I can skate now. Don't skimp on it or you will regret it.
I shredded my ACL and I had to have my Lateral ...
Take a look at Rainskates wheels.
You might want to try the 59mm 85a orange wheels. 59mm is big by today's standards but not super huge. The 85a is soft but not "gooey" like a lot of the 78a cruiser wheels. Ask your local shop to get them. If the...
