Dealing with symptoms after Gallbladder surgery

Have been a bit delayed in responding.....When climbing stairs, the moderate out of breath and the moderate weakness in my legs I am now assuming it is the PVD and decreased circulation, some numbness after my 2nd TKR. I can play a racquet sport pretty well, but stairs are a bit tiring. With COVID, I cannot do my gym exercises (treadmills, elliiptical, bike); am doing more walking (basically boring). But think the more I do, the easier it gets (?)

@tennisgolf I'm with you, the exercises I am doing at home, walking and some exercise videos, are so much more boring than going to the gym. I miss all of that and have considered buying either a treadmill or elliptical because I think it's going to be a very long time before I will be able to resume going to the gym. I also want to buy some smaller dumbbells. I have one set of 8 pounds each but some exercises use lighter ones but they are sold out everywhere.
I have mentioned this before, but those of you who have not seen it, I am using one of two different exercise videos most days. They are both pretty good and there are numerous videos for each of them.
They are:

Silver Sneakers also has videos out there but I have not generally enjoyed them as much. Shellea Fowler's videos are in the "fabulous50s" group and Jenny McClendon also caters to over 50. I did a routine of hers last night, her HIIT routine, and she suggests ways to modify if you can't do some exercises. Due to my TKRs I cannot do the "lunge" where one knee goes almost down to the floor but she tells you what to do instead. Shellea Fowler is the same with suggestions for alternative ways to do exercises. I try to vary what I do so I hit more muscles than just one set of exercises.
