So I got my replacement on November 26th. I was in the hospital overnight. I
I went to a Rehab Center on Tuesday, November 27th. I came home on Saturday December 8th.
My worst pain was at the Rehab Center the day I arrived. I had taken my last pain medication at 2:30. The Transportation team came at 6:20. Due to some sort of mess up, where the pharmacy claimed I was allergic to the pain meds, I didn't get any medication until 11:45. By this time, I was blacking out from the pain, or a real 10. It took all through the next day to get my pain back under control.
I am going to PT three times a week. We are starting off with 4 exercises to do at home twice a day, and they seem to be helping; I can feel myself getting a little stronger and a little more flexible each day. My left knee did not have a full range of motion going in, so I am expecting it to be a little long in getting there.
I am going to be getting my right knee replaced on February 25th, and I am scheduled to return to work on May 31st. My job is in Horticulture, and it requires standing, bending, squatting, lifting and a lot of walking (up to 25,000 steps or more a day).
My right knee is stronger, and I am doing all of the exercises that I am doing for my left knee for Pre-Hab. It also does not have full range of motion, but it is better than the left knee was.
