You will get better slowly. The body goes through some changes on with this major surgery, and it may take several months to recover from the fatigue. I am 75 and did require a lot of extra sleep after both knees were replaced in 2022 and January, 2023. Ask your Dr to check for reasons for fatigue, such as thyroid and anemia.
Best wishes for recovery.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel somewhat “lost” with this recovery. I don’t know what is reasonable to expect. I have never felt this bad or had this much fatigue with any other surgery.
