How to leave hospital after replacement in two days or under?

I am sure you have prepared your children well for the short separation. Most stays are for 2-4 nights so not really long.  I feel you would have to promise to rest at home, and not get stuck in to family life. You will feel tired and frustrated at not being able to do a lot. Make sure you do your exercises and all physio, but as a base line they will not let you out until you are well enough. Good luck for op day

Hi rose

I think you have to go with the flow. If you are in the uk they will want to make sure you can walk on crutches, go to the loo by yourself and be able to go up and down stairs. Don't put yourself under pressure because it may be that you need to get the pain under control and you may not be able to do the stairs until day 3.

Take each day as it comes and if you get out after 2 days it will be great but personally I would plan for at least 3 days

Hope all goes well

Take care

Please, please, please, don't try to rush out of hospital.   As much as you hate hospitals  the staff are trained to see to your needs post op. You will be discharged when it is deemed the right time to hand over your care to your GP & district nurses.  You are having a big operation and will need weeks of recovery.  Your children will need to be supporting you during your recovery time.  Try not to worry and best wishes x

So sorry rose

Let's hope you feel better soon. This is a horrible time for you.

The children will be come through it all. They are well cared for and will come to no harm.Rest assured they will be fine.

You are the main concern. Your health and safety must come first. Please don't try to rush home before your body has time to recover. Take it easy and let the professionals do their work.  The quickest way to leave hospital is to relax and let your body do its work in peace. As the quote says "Let go and let God"
