Hi George12345,
Like I said, I continue PT to gain strength. I hope my TKR and revision aren't what you're going to experience.
I'd had back trouble before the revision so that kind of complicated things in all ways.
And I wore a knee brace for ~3 weeks post revision since my patella tendons had to be corrected. Tendons take longer to heal and stabilize than joints and muscles.
Once the brace was off I was told to minimize flexing of that knee but that let me resume mostly normal activities. And pain was minimal. Stairs took a little time to master without a boost from handrails. Getting up from a standard chair remains somewhat difficult due to both knees and the multiple surgeries.
With a good, positive, and proactive attitude you'll do well, I'm sure.
Now, 6 months post revision, the revised knee is better than my natural knee; it will need treatment in the foreseeable future.
