I do keep all medical documentation, just a pain to dig back through it all just to prove what know-all idiots some people can be.
Checked by the physio that I could do all the required exercises - quite simple really, and also checked by the surgeon before I was released.
First one was operated on around 1000 hrs, released 1100 hrs the following day. Second one the operation was around 0900 hrs and released at 1930 hrs same day - timings may well be a little inaccurate as some of my grey cells sometimes go on walkabout
I can put up with people who tell little white lies, I can also put up with people who bend the truth now and again; What I can not put up with is people who continually spread Bull Manure in order to get a response.

If the person above who say's, that he has had a total knee replacement and walked out of hospital on the same day is prepared to meet me with the proof of his statement, then I will appologise for my comments but I very much doubt that this will happen.

All the best to you and your's Mr Yates.
