I’ve almost decided to get my right knee done. Can’t stand the pain anymore. My question to all you put there who’ve already gone thru this - - Do I need to go to a rehab facility afterwards? I’m 69, live alone in a two story house with shower upstairs. I can have stop in to help, but am worried to be alone right afterwards. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes you need to do physio after for up to 6 sessions at once per week. You can probably do them at home after the first couple of sessions. You should have someone with you for the first few days after the surgery. You will not be going up the stairs for a couple of weeks.
