Good luck, ed
I had the same surgery, and my tears were so bad they could not be entirely repaired, so I have some screws in there. I did PT religiously for about 18 months, and got complete range of motion and strength back. I was told that if I didn't follow the PT regime strictly, or if I stopped PT prematurely, frozen shoulder was one likely consequence. I was also told that if you stop early, your range of motion when you stop is your ceiling for the rest of your life. That didn't appeal to me so I was a PT maniac for those 18 months, and it sure paid off.
