Hi Gladys, I had a partial knee replacement done 4 weeks ago tomorrow. I have had a really great recovery period, but I do not think I would try to fly and vacation.
I agree with everyone else, you will be pushing it. If I spend much time up and around, I need ice. If I spent a full day traveling to my destination, it would take a whole week of vacation to undo the swelling, and then I would be flying home again, with no week of vacation to "undo" the traveling trauma after. Does that make sense?
Another concern, would be that if you had a complication, you are away from appropriate medical care.
I wish you could go, a sunny vacation is exactly what we all need at that stage of recovery, but only if we could magically be transported in about 10 minutes!
Take care, and best wishes on your surgery. Kimberly
