My girlfriend had the surgery, the only real pain was during the PT/exercises, it was important for her to take pain meds before them or she wouldn’t be able to do the full range of motion. She pushed through them and did them as advised and her recovery was quick and she actually has better range of motion in that shoulder than her other now.

I think it could be a possibility to be hunting with a hand crank style crossbow in 6-ish weeks. Hope it all goes well!
