Well, it's probably good you're there for a few days instead of trying to manage on your own at home. I'm guessing you found someone to check on your cats?

The rehab folks I had after my broken pelvis surgery were top notch and showed me how to take care of myself since I had no help at home. And I could not bear weight on one leg for 3 months after surgery. They showed me and had me practice lots of things we take for granted every day like getting in and out of the shower or a vehicle without causing damage while I was healing.

I survived and did not do any damage while healing.

Sounds like you are doing well with the pain. Now, just listen to your therapist to get your muscle strength and range of motion back. It takes time and effort.

This place is similar to correctional facility with there rules, I was expecting a day an a half in hospital, I didn't bring extra cloths an have trouble get them washed, now stuck in here an hate it, like they want u to stay 2 weeks for there program

Follow their instruction if you want to heal correctly. They have years of experience with the healing procedures and usually know what is best for most people. Listen to them......jk It is your choice how much problems you will have later on

Supposed to walk a little every hour an nurse before say no, she just don't wanna bother with be bothered

Had both replaced , yes theirs pain, Start your physical therapy next day, ice every few hours, helps with swelling. First day of PT, do as much as you can tolerate, do PT 3 times a day. and I highly recommend a knee bending machine. Each day you will be able to do more excercises. I made myself a plywood bed, mounted it on a frame and did PT ON IT, then used knee bending machine while lying on couch. I also slept in a reclinder ,as stated you should be able to sleep in bed after couple weeks. I was sent home ice machine, ask for the knee bender, it helps your knee from building scar tissue, plus helps faster healing. You will need some help that first week
GOOD LUCK

I hope can drive in 2 weeks, I have staples to get took out
