I've had arthroscopic knee surgery twice on one knee and once on the
other. The first surgery took about three months to be 'normal' again. 7
years later when a fall caused damage in both knees, the same surgery (I
pretty much duplicated the injury from the first time), my parents picked
me up at the hospital and on the way home, I had them stop at the Post
Office where I stood in line and mailed a package. Once home, I fixed
dinner for all of us before they went home. By the day after the surgery,
I was sitting in a yoga position for up to 15 minutes at a time before my
knee would remind me it had surgery. The difference in the first surgery
to the second wasn't the injury, it's the skill of the doctor. The first
time it was a fairly new procedure. Now that surgeon has done thousands of
operations and the healing time for both knees was maybe two
weeks. Stitches (one stitch in each of three incisions on each knee (and
they did the knees one at a time in case there was a surprise in either
surgery (as you might need help getting up and down and I lived alone at
that point), came out in five days and I didn't need any physical therapy
whatsoever. The skill of the surgeon is very important. I was fortunate
as my surgeon was considered one of the top ones in the entire country.
