Sorry I missed this thread. My discharge instructions were VERY SPECIFIC. NO running, jumping or stairs and strict confinement for the first 4 weeks. Then begin leash walking with activity to tolerance over the next 4 weeks. In short, 8 weeks is what I am anticipating. Keep this in mind. If your baby has any complications, like an infection, that could delay the recovery. Much depends on what kind of procedure Shelby is having. Gracie had three procedures on each knee. I think you should be safe planning on 12 weeks. I just would not make any plans that you cannot get out of until you are sure Shelby is in the clear.
