i was definitely home for 2 weeks (other then going to the physio)
i was on Oxycontin for the first 3-4 days. the first two days on Oxycontin was the best, i felt i was flying in bed.
i think by the middle of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th week i was able to drive to my physio. mind you, i have a truck and its fairly easy to get in and out of. but yes, i was still on crutches. everyone's healing time is different, just make sure you strengthen wherever they are going to cut to make the graft. it will speed up your recovery.
also i cant stress enough having your leg elevated, wrapped snug, and iced 24/7 after your surgery. it will speed it up a lot. the surgeon did not tell me that but my physio made me do it and it helped a lot
obviously everyone's recovery time is different, but best of luck to you. it's painful but you will get through it
