It went great. I was doing very easy range of motion stuff a couple days after surgery and slowly added to the routine as time went on. I am now 3 -1/2 weeks post op and feel great. I have good range of motion back and the strength is pretty good too at least for the amount of time it has been. I still get an ache at night (toward morning) from laying down too long. If I get up and moving it goes away.
I have been back on the bike for two days now. I did 13 miles yesterday to see how I felt. I had no pain during or after, and felt better this morning than I have been, so I rode again today, 25 miles this time. I am still avoiding standing to climb as it seems like it stresses the shoulder more than I think it is ready for.
