Recovery - Operation plus 4 months

Nearing the 4 month mark since my operation and things seem to be going well with my recovery. I have about 90% full range of movement back, just struggling right now to get my hand high up behind my back.

Since getting it out of the immobiliser on 24th June I've been busy slowly stretching it out and over the past 2 months hitting the gym pretty hard. Below is a copy of my training plan, it clearly shows the dip since the build-up to the Moriston and dislocation, though the weight is slowly increasing week on week. 
Clear progression since my operation, on shoulder and arm exercises.
At 3 months post op I paddled the Loop and a couple of runs down the Olympic at LV, but it was sore for a few days after. A couple of weeks ago we paddled the Upper and Lower Tryweryn for the day and it felt almost back to normal, though still ached a bit the next day.
With the SICKLINE fast approaching I've taken the decision not to paddle in the race but maybe see about getting on in the days before. I also plan on taking the roadie and head up the valley to Solden, weather permitting.
