I had mine at 10am on Thursday, and could have left hospital on the Sunday, but i was delayed by a day due to failing my 'stairs test' because of my stomach upset.
Go home happy, and take it easy, I had afternoon naps when I got home for a week or so. Whataver you do, don't push it too far.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery

as you say, it is a big operation.
The medical profession do a great job of 'selling' it as routine, but for your body it's anything but routine.

wow, that was a short stay - I mean I stayed for 4 nights (additional night because I live alone) -
Ase veryone agrees, it is normal and will be for a while - if possible, just surrender and rest, rest, rest --- no need to think about exercises right now, just ankle and foot pumps to keep the circuation going ...
stay warm and cozy
big hug and love

Since I came home on Thursday I've slep most of the time! You heal while you sleep and like others have said the analgesia makes you sleep to.
Sounds like your doing well!

checking in with you ... the first nights/days at home are exciting and challenging at the same time - so go easy about it today okay?
stay on top of your pain and take the medication on time -
big warm hug and
love

just don't do the leg to side exercise yet - too much pulling and still so fragile - be gentle - take your time changing positions, from laying to sitting, sitting to standing, erect your body gently and make sure you are balanced - go slowly right now -
I still have to remind myself to do this - otherwise I just do everything fast and sloppy and do a great impression of a pinguin again -
enjoy being pain free for now - give your partner a hug -
