Sounds like Bob and I did the same thing. Did both of mine in 2011 Sept and Dec. Like Bob took 3 weeks off both times. Could have actually gone back to work in 2 weeks but needed to cut down on the happy pills. Wouldn't do both at the same time as I probably would piss the wife off and she would leave me sitting on the toilet. PT is really important, don't be afraid of the pain, as the saying goes No pain No gain. Short walks numerous times each day are important. Ask the Doc if there was anything I shouldn't do and he said just don't fall down.
