It's good to hear that you did the researching, I was worried about that part .

Phys therapy
Just don't rush yourself during the healing process.
Make sure you have some expert PT people and do the ROM routines and everything for short sessions many times a day when dr OKs it.

If you seem to be having any problems during PT and they don't adjust things so it works better for you -don't be afraid to ask for a different therapist or go to another place.
There are good and bad out there and you only have one body.
I found I got better PTs with each change, plus I learned a lot from asking questions and watching what they did.
{I didn't have surgery , but many sessions of PT for RSI type of TOS}

Be careful when driving or riding in a car because a few got re injured quite soon after recovery due to accidents.
Just in case you are tempted to go riding around with some one that might be a bit reckless or inexperienced.

Best of luck and let us know how you are doing when you can.
