The nurse will likely take your temperature, look over your leg for swelling etc, make sure you know how to give yourself lovonox, and that's about it. The PT will walk you around your place a bit, give you some small exercises to start, I would doubt they'll want you walking outside yet, but you are young, so it is possible. But maybe your outside services are different than mine, so your experience might vary.
When I had tTHR, both times, here was my schedule: Shower (but not until day 2 or 3 home), avoiding the bandage (until it was off, which was day 5 or 6). Breakfast. Lovonox. PT -- with or without the therapist. Some reading, emails, etc. Lunch. Then my serious painkiller, which put me to sleep, and I slept 3 hours every day. This schedule lasted for a few weeks, even as I got better. I never needed much painkiller, so the sleep after 2 weeks was without a painkiller. Do your body a favor and try to nap every day. I know you are young, but I found that the naps were the best thing I did.

Were right this surgery is a big deal and I have gone through all the Posting. I need to follow the recovery guidance ice, pain medication, and sleep. I feel like I have no energy at all. I feel tired 
. My insurance is great!!!! I have a maid who comes in with my daily chores washing my dishes, giving me a shower clean the house. My actual nurse will come in 30 min to check my incision and my itchiness and my temperatures. At 5 pm PT will come for my activities. All I want do is sleep. Anyway I am done for the day. Good news is I am able to do almost everything without my cane. I just feel tired.
