Only to begin with. They get the person up walking within a few days. The bit they replace is then stronger than the old bit. And they do it with glue.

My missus had a knee replacement. 6 weeks and she was back to normal, talking non stop and still always taking ages to actually get out the house.
Seriously though, if you do the exercises and all that, 6 weeks or less and you'll be back working. Maybe you'll be working a bit slower to begin with but without the pain. Your life is about to change for the better come April.
I cannot stress how important it is to do not only the exercises given but any stretching exercises to strengthen those muscles and joints that were affected by the effects of having a painfull knee which throws the whole body out of kilter.

Thanks for all the well wishes chaps. I can believe glue repair job and how quick you are on your legs again. Its the deterioration beforehand that is hell. From working full days I have only been able to get in two hours of work a day for the last 8 months so nearly stuffed up my business.Lost a lot of my work due to this crap. Its very frustrating. I am, besides my nee s in very good health for my age, but this type of thing does pull you down.
I have had to refuse all gutter work any ladder work, power washing and also my property maintenance work which makes up a large part of my income.

Why don't you take someone on, Slap Bash?

Hope you do well Slap Dash.
I must say that ignoring the heart disease, hypothyroidism, type 2 diabetes, arthitis in both knees, congenital pelvic deformity, obstructive sleep apnea, partial hearing loss, obesity and poor eyesight I`m the healthiest on here. :D

Usually that's the end of people when they start getting joints replaced... Next you will be falling over in the kitchen... Then ping in your bed... Such a shame ;D
Joking aside why don't you try and find a local windie who is just starting off and offer him all your extra jobs that you can't do? You just take 25% of each job? He's making a decent cut and he wi be busy, you will have extra cash coming in. It's vertually risk free because he's not touching your customers it's just extra jobs:)

I know you're joking but I was at a Parkrun some months ago and a fella there was pulled out of the crowd and given some public applause because he'd ran a 5k race when he'd had a knee replacement the year before.
I bet there's loads of guys here - with proper knees - who couldn't do that.
