It's definitely a good idea to take a break till you feel better. I know I had hurt my left shoulder, not sure how I hurt it, & it was pretty painful to lift it. Thankfully it's much better now.
Sunday Bike ride to & from work, get 10 thousand steps in
Monday Bike ride to & from work,ride an additional 20 minutes, get 10 thousand steps in
Tuesday Bike ride to & from work, get 10 thousand steps in, incorporate stairs
Wednesday Bike ride to & from work, ride an additional 20 minutes, get 10 thousand steps in
Thursday Free ride, no time limit, include weights
Friday Bike ride to & from work, get 10 thousand steps in, incorporate stairs
Saturday toss up between riding or walking to work, includes weights
I really want to ride as much as possible while the weather is nice & build up speed & endurance 
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.
