You need as much as you can get...really, the more you move the new knee the better it will serve you. A physical therapist can help you with the rehab in the hospital & after you are out. It takes a good couple months to get to the full bend mode, it is slow recovery for most...although some people breeze through. It takes almost a full year before you feel the new knee is your own. I had my right knee done 14 mos. ago and just last month had my left knee done. I would recommend doing the knees at time apart so you can use one leg to get to the bathroom & into the shower seat, etc.
You have to keep the muscles in shape to support your new knee.
I might add that after surgery, the muscles tune out for awhile & it is important to start movement asap.
