I have had both knees done as half replacement which is an easier recovery. Hang in there they should come around. On my half knees and hips I threw away the cane after about three days. The spinal surgery took a bit longer....don't remember how long....its in this thread I believe.

In the mean time drink more bourbon or IPA beer!
