Physical therapy and exercise recommendations post-surgery?

Hi All,

I was truly surprised when the physical therapy team who saw me as an inpatient gave me three exceedingly simple things to do, patted me on the back and let me head home. Here's what they gave me to do, in 5-10 rep sets, 3xday:

1. slow, gentle shoulder rolls up, back, and around

2. walking my fingers up a wall until my arms got to 90 degrees/shoulder height

3. brushing off my back (elbow at hip, palms facing away from your back, hinging your arm at the elbow as if you're trying to brush a bee off your lower or mid-back

Did the rest of you get similar exercises? Are these pretty standard? Anyone get anything else?

Also, I am wondering what your doctors said about exercise, particularly if you had immediate reconstruction. I know I'm supposed to avoid repetitive or forceful arm movements and impactful body movement for another 4-6 weeks, but I'm waiting to hear from my doctors what kind of movement is sanctioned in the meanwhile! I'm told my PS is pretty conservative about letting her patients get back to exercising, and believe me, I have no interest in undoing her hard work, but I also don't want to be sitting around doing nothing if I don't have to, so I hope I hear back from her soon! (By which I mean Monday, not over the weekend.)
