@jholland - my reverse TSR recovery went very smoothly. I quit wearing the immobilizer/sling at about 6-8 weeks, only using it when I was going to be out and about in situations where I might get bumped by others. My PT started out at three times a week for the first few weeks, then cut down to twice, and then once a week at the end. As far as being functional, by the time I finished PT at around 10 weeks, I was adequately functional for daily tasks. I continued daily assigned stretching and strength exercises on my own for a month afterwards. After than, I just went about doing whatever I needed, having to sometimes remind myself to be careful about not picking up too heavy a load. By 4-6 months I would have considered myself fully healed and functional without restrictions. But everyone reacts to surgery in their own way, so I'm sure there are people that will take a year to heal.
