My husband had a shoulder joint replaced last week. His surgeon and a family member told him that recovery wouldn't be easy. He had two knees replaced at once about 10 years ago and he remembers that as a piece of cake.
He has had a rough recovery. The nursing staff wanted him to stay a 2nd night in the hospital but he would have none of that.
The night after discharge neither of us got any sleep, resulting in a run to ER for a catheter. He has not been a happy camper, demanding and exhausting me. Today he is much better, 5 days after surgery.
My advice is that at our age accept the advice of nursing staff to stay an extra day for the sake of your care giver. It isn't always just about you.
