What is the usual hospital stay following knee replacement surgery?

I have be told I need to have knee replacement surgery, and I need to know the approx time I need to be in the hospital

.My husband had total knee replacement surgery, & was in the hospital 3 days,in rehab. for 5 weeks & off work for 10 weeks all total. You might think OMG but if you are living in pain now, boy another world is about to open for you. When everything is healed up you will be able to get out & walk 2 miles with little or no effort. Good luck
