I had a TRHR in August and am facing my right knee being done in the New Year. i recovered well from the hip replacement, but i know knees can be more troublesome. i need to get back to work and driving after my knee operation, but how soon as is reasonable and how quickly can i fly afterwards?
many thanks

It seems you can start to drive again with knees slightly faster than hips. As soon as you can bend your knee and can do an emergency stop. 4-6 weeks or so. I waited six weeks for my hip on a manual drive.
