Got home at about 3:15 and resting in his recliner. He is talking out loud as to the things he needs to remember - like not just walking off to the potty without his walker . . .

Glad to hear he is home.  Best thing now, is to stay indoors where it is toasty and warm.  Best wishes on the road to recovery.

 Hi Christine

I am glad Dave is home safe and sound.  Tell him he must be breaking the record for getting kicked out of the hospital so darned fast!  I think I was in the hospital a good week for both of my knee replacements.  

I hope Dave will be getting in home therapy for awhile.  That was a godsend to me.  I also had a visiting nurse who came and even did my INR levels for my protime reading for my coumadin.  I did not venture out to regular pt for a good month or so.  It sure was convenient.  

Make sure Dave does his exercises between PT sessions.  I did mine at least twice a day.  The more you do them, the faster that knee will heal and the more flexable it will be.     Standing up from a chair or bed was the hardest thing for me.  

Good luck to Dave!

Glad Dave is home.  Hope you can both stay in tomorrow and keep cozy and warm!!  Follow the Dr.'s orders and here's to a quick recovery.

I fully understand his thoughts!  I lost my cane when I started going out so many times...I would hang it to get something off a shelf at the store and then since I was using a cart for walking I would leave it behind and have to go find it!

glad he's home and has a great  caregiver!
