Older people do a whole lot better as far as recovery and pain compared to people in their 40s. A majority of knees will go home the same day as surgery. The most important advice I can give you though is to get up and move as soon as you can. Don't lay around and let your knee and muscles lock up.

Had to lift my leg two foot off the bed and walk hundred foot a walker and go home the same day. Compared to rotator cuff surgery it was a complete piece of cake. Government making sin legal does not make it right.

Right knee had 3 bone spurs the size of a man's thumb, the left knee only had one. But it was the size of a D cell battery according to the orthopedic surgeon. I'm not kidding when I say that I was ready to suck start a 1911. I'm 58 now. I absolutely hate kneeling on them to this day. It feels very weird. Also don't like steep steps or ladders. But I make my way through it. I'm glad that I had it done, but I also know I will probably have to get them done again. It was the end of coon hunting for me. It can be a challenge sometimes when making yote and cat sets.
