Yeah most TKRs are outpatient surgeries. They have a therapist come in and take you on a short walk with a walker before being released. And then you have to hit the rehab exercises, 3x/day no exceptions. You'll be happy you did. I did and the TKRs have been incredible. No more bone-on-bone pain, in the gym everyday. At 70 y/o, I'm a happy guy.
Now back to handball - are you talking about traveling from Scottsdale via airplane? If so, check with your doc on when you can get on an airplane after a TKR, or any surgery.

Hi and thanks for the input. Yes, i am planning to travel to Scottsdale to get this done. Was also wondering about accommodations and travel resources to/from the PT. Did Mayo help find these resources? Did you get the customized (Conformis) tkr?

Handball????? Well now there is a simply wonderful sport. I am 78. At a challenging moment in my life over 45 years ago I took up handball. Played it religiously for some 10 years. Best part handball helped deal with my ANGER. besides the physical benefits.
The procedures today are simply marvelous. I’ve had both hips replaced and torn ligament operations on both knees. I am in the best shape physically and emotionally than any time in my life.
You’ll be back. 🙏🏻 Namaste
