Managing Time on Your Feet

I'm now nine weeks after my TKR and progressing well.  I definitely have started to feel better physically and psychologically but now the hardest thing is being on my feet for any length of time.  If I go out to the shops after an hour or so I've had enough.  I went back to work today as a housekeeper, I only did 2.5 hours and I am wiped out.  My knee isn't swelling or painful but it is sore/aching.  How long has it taken people to get back to a 'normal' day of activity?
