There are still issues but i was told i may lose 7-10% of my range of motion. Also, i was told no ball throwing at all. Im suppose to be seen again in 3 months. As for now, continue therapy at home. Funny thing is when i brought this up she was very fast to say no throwing !!! Yet in therapy ive been doin ball throwing into a net with a weighted ball. Oopsy.

I was told i can do most things. No jaring/ jerking movements. I can do pushups for strengthing my chest. I can do bench but she doesn't want me to go below parallel.

I return to work sunday night. 11-7 for the week.

Gonn Keep things kinda light, work on increases my strength(should be easy) keep higher reps. Dropsets, supersets. Time under tention. Etc.

So now its actually time to get my fat ass back in shape. Update shortly.
Gonna lay out a plan and see how it looks and what everyone thinks..
awesome to hear. i believe i was back actually lifting by early feb after my sept 12th surgery in 2017. didn't take long for muscle memory and strength to start coming back. up til early summer i was still fretting that the atrophy from the layoff was going to make me asymmetrical with the left shoulder and arm looking smaller but by the 1 year post surgery mark it had pretty much gotten back to looking same as before. i had similar "oopsy" moment near end of rehab when dr was releasing me back to work when he said no ballistic stuff with the shoulder yet, no bench pressing, no hitting the heavy bag, no rope training. said oops, brrn doing light sessions on the battle rope for a few weeks now and he just rolled his eyes and go with how you feel but be careful.
you'll be back to normal in no time amigo and stronger than ever. that's the only bad thing about my surgery coming up the 22nd of this month. my training has been going so good the past weeks and i feel so much bigger and fuller and i know i gotta shut it down from the 22nd until at least thanksgiving time to heal up but knowing how well i came back after last surgery for other shoulder i know i'll be better than ever by vacation time next year. same for you brother, good things await your training.
