My wife is about to get her second knee replaced----both hips and her other knee have already gone to wherever worn out parts go
She went to a rehab center for a period after each----but no moreMedicare now considers a knee replacement as outpatient surgery---unless you get both done at the same time, then you can stay over night. In any case a stay in a rehab facility----what is that?

My wife used to work in this hospital before being lured away to the big city and big bucks, so yesterday she worked the phone and managed a one night stay followed by rehab at another facility. She is out of surgery.

So... with the overnight stay, hence both knees?

No---she only had one to do----she overnighted because she "worked the room"Originally Posted by UTAH
Not something I would do---but not for me to say. I will say that she was in a lot of pain when they brought her up to her room---I can't imagine trying to load her in the car and bringing her home
