My step-mother had a knee replacement last year and she was up and walking around within hours of surgery. Within a few days we was back home and doing physical therapy. She could barely go up and down stairs without pain - now she is able to move freely with no discomfort at all.

Good luck and you should be able to be back hiking by summer no problem!
