Having my right knee replaced did not interfere with my using my right foot on the sewing machine pedal. My rehab required me to either be standing up walking or lying down for the first month after surgery--preferably up walking. The protocol has changed some, but you still will not be encouraged to sit with you knee bent for a good little while.
After the rehab, you can go back to doing what you were doing, except maybe riding your bicycle on the street or roller skating! froggyintexas
