June 4th I had my right knee replaced. Supposed to be same day but had to overnight due to ekg changes. Have been home 5 days. Ambulating around family room and powder room first 3 days with walker. No problems and only complaint is stiffness. Had PT on 6/8. Therapist massaged leg and did some stretches. Yesterday started ambulating from my recliner to the powder room (about 20 feet) using cane. Again only issue stiffness. Today using cane all day in house. Cancelled PT today because a call from hospital to tell me one of my caregivers was covid-19 positive. Of course concerned. Was going to return to my bed tonight for first time but told husband..let's be cautious. I had both hips done in 2018 so the knee is new territory for me. All in all I feel pretty good
