If things are not better tomorrow, you need to contact your surgeon's office and let them know what you did.
Yes, you should have followed your doctor's instructions, especially about the weight lifting restriction. Shoveling mulch for two hours is a significant bit of overdoing it and you want to be sure you didn't do any damage to those tender tissues that are still healing. In the meantime, rest and ice as much as possible. Go back to doing just your passive exercises for at least a few days to keep the shoulder moving and don't do anything that requires you to work the muscles. Things need to settle.
More than likely you've just angered things a lot, but you need to be sure that's the case.
Next time you're tempted like this, tell your friends to duct tape you to a chair until the feeling passes.... I'm proud of you for admitting your error, though. Others will learn from your experience. Thanks for the honesty.
