[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom had knee replacement done in her 60s. She has a first floor primary bedroom setup, so she didn't need to use stairs, but I'll say she was able to do stairs sooner than she was able to do distance (as in blocks, not miles!). If I were you, I'd forget about installing a stair lift and put your efforts toward temporary one floor living space, if possible. PT began immediately and someone came to her house at first, then she was driven to appointments until she could drive herself.[/quote] Thank you - this is very helpful. The two bathrooms at home have a bathtub vs. shower stall. Therefore, I'm starting to think that it may be best to get a handicapped accessible hotel room for the weeks after surgery. I have young children at home so a little overwhelmed by all the logistics. [/quote]
