Are you getting PT or so they wait for the healing before giving therapy? And range of motion comes back?

Range of motion does come back. I don't remember when I had PT, if before or after pain went away. I still don't like people smacking me on that shoulder although it's been 3 or more years.

They had me doing a very basic arm dangle exercise on day 2' Just taking the sling off, bending over and using body momentum, do a circle with your 'bad' arm. It's like doing a 'hula hoop' without a hoop. I have to do that as many times as I can during the day.
I usually average 3 times for 7 minutes each time. PA said that was fine. Only thing I can think of such a weird exercise would be good for is to get my arm and shoulder to relax and limber up.
I think they said that PT would begin after I got out of the sling....in 18 more days I hope.
If somebody slaps me on my shoulder they will be pulling me off the ceiling. Then if they are fast they had better....RUN!!!!

@Rambling Iris what did they find on Larrys MRI ? Is he ok?
I rember doing this. I know all of the exercises you'll be doing. One of the first therapy will probably be the one sitting at the table sliding a towel as far forward as you can. Push it a bit, but not into bad pain. You'll be so surprised at how far you come along each week.
Happened to me. A son in law did it accidentally. He didn't really smack it, but gave me a love tap hard enough I let out a yelp.

Hubby had a really bad fall off a ladder 4 1/2 yrs ago, and tore his shoulder almost right through. Surgeon showed us the x-ray with only a couple of mm still holding on.
Surgeon has a good rep and lived up to it.
Pysio and Hubby clashed - so I had to go to every visit to quell the tesestorme clash.
He did a lot of pulling on these specially made tensioning rubbers - each one was solider than the last - some just across the body pulling, some hung from the ceiling and full work out stuff.
While he had to quit working as an electrician/technician (no one will sign off on this ability to hang on if he falls off a ladder anymore)
he is back to working full time as a maintenance tech at the local Trade training centre. And just keeps mum about the fact that he (having 2 trade certificates) is more qualified than the lecturers.
He is also back to carrying the 20kg bags of seed, but not chucking them up on this shoulder anymore.
