My mother had her right knee replaced on January 4th. It was a Monday and she went home the following Thursday. She was in a bit of pain and the physical therapy is tough. My mother is not one to be tied down so she really worked on getting going. I saw her 3 1/2 weeks after the surgery and she was going up and down stairs easily. Now, about 6 weeks after the surgery, she is driving again and back to her normal routine. The only time she mentions pain is when she goes to the PT class. I am amazed that a 75 year old woman recovered so quickly but they really push you, at least where she had it done.
