After my neck dissection, my surgeon wrote me a prescription for physical therapy for both my neck and shoulders. It really made a difference in expediting my recovery as well as giving me very effective but safe exercises to recover range of motion in my neck and strength in my shoulders. My recommendation would be to ask your surgeon to give you a PT script, and call now before the ND to schedule the PT for after your discharge. I had to wait for an appointment. I'm not going to go into any of my usual discussions on neck dissection except to stress just how helpful getting PT after a ND is for a faster and better recovery.
