Recovery from shoulder surgery is ( can be ) a long process. It's not a simple hinge like a knee, it's a complex joint.

After two shoulders surgeries, I'm at about 80% strength wise ( I'm 54 ) but still gaining strength

If you do have a partial tear, I would get it fixed so you don't end up with a complete tear. When I slipped on the big lathe at work and had my injury, I'm pretty sure it started as a partial tear. I thought it was just a strain and kept working. It completely tore the tendon from the bone and ended up having two surgeries to fix it. ( one to reattach and the other 6 months later to remove scar tissue )
