lloyd,
Several years ago after undergoing a soft tissue repair of my left shoulder, and waiting a few weeks, I went out on the sporting clays course with my friends and shot some clays one armed/right handed with my 20 ga. Merkel to good effect. It felt really good!
Be aware that it takes 4-6 weeks for soft tissue recovery, but 8-12 weeks for bone. At our ages, sometimes because we can, doesn't mean we should!
