I had my TKR in December in Rochester. The staff there was great. Outcomes vary by person, but I was able to go home the same day. And, I was hoping for that. I also agree with doing any exercises you can before surgery, as well as keeping up with whatever PT your surgeon recommends. Good luck to you.

Thanks Paul. Everything anyone needs to know about a TKR is included in your succinct response. Well done! To summarize, get ready, get the surgery, get busy!

And I was only 1 1/2 hours away, a doable distance. Going the same day meant my surgery pain meds were still strong. I "kind of" remember the drive home. 🙂
