They get you out of the bed at the hospital the next day.  Some surgeons will get their patients up the same day if they are awake enough. They brought a walker into the room for me to use and helped me move from the bed to the chair for lunch and dinner.  I was "allowed" breakfast in bed every day.  They hooked me up to a CPM every day to help the knees bend.  After surgery, the thigh muscles don't want to work.  The surgeon told me the thighs are the last to "wake up". It was no picnic, but it gets better.
