Don't go crazy with a PT program given your recent illness, which was serious. It will take a while for your immune system/body to fully recover, maybe months. You don't want to push so hard that you relapse with pneumonia. Too much activity will suppress your immune system making a relapse more likely. Work out, but not too much, and get plenty of sleep and adequate nutrition.
Nothing develops the upper back like pullups. Dump the rows, pulldowns, and flys. They won't do much for you. 1 pullup with your bodyweight is better than 100 reps of lat pulldowns with any weight you can load the machine with. You should do pushups and lots of situps/crunches too.
Do bodyweight PT.
