I do keep all medical documentation, just a pain to dig back through it all just to prove what know-all idiots some people can be.
Checked by the physio that I could do all the required exercises - quite simple really, and also checked by the surgeon before I was released.
First one was operated on around 1000 hrs, released 1100 hrs the following day. Second one the operation was around 0900 hrs and released at 1930 hrs same day - timings may well be a little inaccurate as some of my grey cells sometimes go on walkabout

Barrie I am on your side mate, I had a full knee replacement 4 years ago. and I was home within 24 hours. that's one day in anybody's language. that is also a 10" scar. Photo is a bit blurd but it can be seen.
