Yeah recovery time is pretty much 6 weeks in a sling, 6 weeks with just range of motion stuff and then 3 months of strength and conditioning.
At 6 months the doc said i can pretty much be back doing all the silly things that had it dislocating in the past.

But i reckon i'll give it maybe another month or two to build it right back up.

I was back at work on the 17th without much difficulty.

Exercise wise, stationary bike at the gym / home or walking / hiking are the only ones really available. Other low impact exercises are possible but it really won't be anything like being fully active the above is probably the closest.

I've found playstation works well but it means my fat ass will have to work harder in the end, i only brought it after my op (last week) for something to do and pass time and the partner isn't to happy bout it ha! Oh well

Open versus key hole - these are you options in surgery Google them and they will explain the procedures.

Hope it all goes well
