I am on the waiting list to have my right knee replaced in approximately 2 months time.
Can anyone tell me if I will be able to get up the stairs to go to bed?Luckily I have a downstairs bathroom, but just wanted to know will I be able to get up the stairs or will I have to sleep on the settee?

i moved to the bedroom downstairs to cater for my knee replacement. They teach u how to do stairs before you leave. You probably could very carefully and slowly but I'm thinking you ay not want to because for the first 2 weeks it is quite painful. I reckon you make up the sofa. With a bit of luck you'll be on enough medication that you won't care where you sleep. I was independently mobile on leaving hospital after the first week so I guessit would have been possible if I was in a situation where I had to but I'm glad I wasn't

I. Had knee replaced on 14.5.14, back T home since 21.5.14, I can assure you you will have no problem in using stairs.
Good Luck
