After surgery it was a while before they started me on physical therapy and by that time, I could barely move my arm because it had atrophied so badly. It was a few weeks of PT before I could drive.

I'm sure it would have been a lot faster without the delays but still a long time. All I could say for advice is do all the PT they tell you to do and more. That will minimize the recovery time. Good luck with the healing.
Ogsarg, some friends ask me time after time if I was indeed riding a MOTOR-cycle, since it takes high levels of trauma force to fracture a scapula. Did you suffer any permanent deficits or did you loose consciousness?
