7.Back at Home
When you get back home from the hospital, you should be able to walk with crutches or a walker. But you may need help bathing, cooking, and with household chores for the first 3 to 6 weeks. If you live alone, you may want to stay in a rehab center until you can do daily activities by yourself.
8.Keep on Moving
To make the most of your new knee, you should follow your doctor’s orders about being active in the weeks after the surgery. Too much rest can slow your recovery down, but you don’t want to overdo it, either. Focus on moving around your house, taking walks, and doing the exercises suggested by your physical therapist.
