Default RE: excercises for a guy with shoulder surgery

I had surgery on my shoulder the year before last, 2 days before archery season opens! I went into pt a few days later which lasted about 10 weeks. I tprimarily consisted of slow stretching over and over again. to the side, across the body and straight up. the therapist did all the stretching for me. she would go as far as she could each time without inflicting a lot of pain. we then progressed to very light weights (like 3 pound bar bells) repetition is the key, definitely don't try a lot of wieght. By tghe end of December I was shooting my bow again,cranked down a little of course. That happens when you get old. I can't believe his dr dropped the ball on him like that! I'd be pretty upset if they did that to me
