Hi all - I'm having a revision to a TKR what was done in July 2018. Dh will be working from home during the early part of my recovery. During my original recovery, I remember having in-home PT for just a few weeks. If I can't drive for 6 weeks, how am I going to get to outpatient PT? My area centers aren't open late enough for dh to get home in time to drive me. All area friends work. I have a stationary bike and am good about doing exercises at home...

I lived on Uber and Lyft. Choose a place close by, which was relatively inexpensive to get there. Hated the feeling of having depend on friends and family all the time. Give me some sense of independence. Couldn’t get in the backseat though - not enough leg room..

@babette If you are on Medicare and can’t get out you shouldn’t have a problem. I know I had in-house PT for about a month and then it was my choice to drop it because I didn’t want to be “home bound” anymore.
