Todd,
Hopefully you are right handed!! I had surgery to repair (not replace) my right shoulder on May 3rd and I am right handed. Makes life very difficult for a few weeks!! I wore a sling for six weeks. I do recommend having a good recliner to sleep in for the first couple of weeks and avoid riding on bad or rough roads! I think my wife did that on purpose. At almost 3 months now I have about 75% range of motion. My doctor says its a six month recovery. The physical therapy is not pleasant and causes soreness but tolerable and necessary as GonHuntin said. Good luck!!
