Mum having knee replacement - what to expect

I think this depends on how your mum copes after the surgery. My mum had the same surgery in her eighties is an independent person and recovered quickly, I would go in and she would be completing her exercises ,as mum wanted to get back to her bingo in her sheltered accommodation. I do hope her recovery is as quick. As you have such a lot going on in your life would an independent carer help mum a couple of days a week to give you a break. It would mean paying for it but it may save you from being exhausted also mum might be more prepared to complete excercise if it’s not a family member.

I do have a DH,but he's 9 years older than me. I was 75 when I had a knee replacement last November. As he has various health problems, I went to DDs for two weeks post operation. I coped at home after that. They prefer you to have stairs as this can help with recovery.
