my mom has had both knees replaced, and she plus the at least handful of others (including a few rehab roommates and my recent realtor, who went through it while I was in the process of buying my condo) I know have had overall very good experiences with their replacements.
set yourself up with supplies (including assistive devices - reachers like my fave linked below, a sock tool for when you can't bend all the way down, etc.), don't rush things (so many things can be delivered these days, if you don't always want to ask people for help), and things will hopefully go nice and smoothly.
mememe: I'm looking at knee surgery myself before too long, and I actually asked my doc. if I could go straight to replacement instead of messing around with trying arthroscopy first, since multiple areas of my knee are involved. he laughed and said no, but I wasn't entirely joking! ;p
