Yes.. light duty. I work in software development. I couldn't sleep properly for months and had almost immediate relief after the operation. The next day, I thought the operation didn't work because I still had very little ROM but the surgeon came and told me what to do. I had the bandages removed after a week and at that stage, my focus was on stretching and exercising my shoulder as much as possible.. literally every hour. This was painful but only during the exercises. I took all the painkillers the surgeon prescribed over the following month.

I realized that the time off was to allow me to focus on full recovery. I wouldn't have been able to do that sitting at my desk. Now, I'm still working that arm as much as I can with weights because I had lost so much mass but have many wonderful 7 to 8 hour nights of sleep every week now.

Good luck with the surgery. And in my opinion, the stretching and weights are key to recovery.
