I know of others who had knee replacement at the same time and did not push themselves during rehap. They continue to have prob. to this day.
Good luck and let us know what you do.

I also don't feel like I can navigate rocks too well just yet but probably by next year.

What they said----work the rehab with all you have. It's the key. My ex-MIL didn't and she complained of pain the rest of her life. My wife had a double knee replacement, and she worked the rehab. She'll never have normal knee flexibility, but she can kneel and work the garden, and rides 30 miles pain-free on her bike.
