Good luck with your recovery Robert... as I have said before, I had that surgery and recovered nicely... I did go to PT a few times. The doctor also wanted me to go three times a week but I too grew weary of that. It was a pain in the butt and expensive. After a few trips, I stopped going and began doing the exercises at home. I was diligent, but did throw away the sling after a couple of weeks. Yeah. the doctor raised hell about that but such is life! I found the sling very uncomfortable... Again, good luck..
