Good luck. Good news is they will have you up and walking a few hours after the whole ordeal is over.

Cute nurse.
Some folks have said I'd be up. Others say take fill advantage of pain meds. Been off of all knee meds which are high power ibuprofen for a week now. I didn't realize how much they helped. Barely could stand this AM.
Doc is appearing in a bit to tell me all that's gonna happen.

I’m pretty sure those pain meds will be needed but make sure you do what the PT’s say about moving that thing, especially when you get home.

You got this. Both of my parents had both of theirs replaced, when they were in their 70s.

Good luck today, RP. My father had both of his replaced a few weeks apart several years ago. It gave him a new lease on life and he is one of the most active 70 something-year-old‘s I know now.

Dad was about ready to give up deer hunting 20 years ago...two new knees later and he's killing deer solo in his early 80's. It was like magic.

Good luck, and prayers up.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

Move it more than they say, what they say is a minimum, best to do 3X what they want. If you don't bare through the PT pain it can end up worse than before the surgery.
Good Luck

I had mine “fixed” a couple of years ago for the last time before I’m due a replacement. During pre-op my surgeon told me that I was going to walk out of there that afternoon. I looked at him in disbelief since both meniscus were blown out and the ACL was torn again. I’ve had a few knee surgeries and never “walked out”. He said “don’t be a pussy” and pointed to a man in his late 70’s doing laps with a walker. Then he tells me that he replaced both of his knees just a couple of hours earlier. He was right, I walked out using only one crutch for stability. Medical procedures have come a long way since my first knee surgery for a dislocated patella and torn patella ligament. It was inpatient and I didn’t walk for a couple of days.
