Default Total Knee replacement by Mako robot assist

The arthritis in my right knee has been diagnosed as severe osteoarthritis .....very painful....now affecting my daily 2-3 mile walk and number of times per week I can play golf.
This is a big decision (for me) at the age of 86......the long recovery is intimidating!!

I would like to hear from anyone who has had a total knee replacement by Mako robot assist.
Outpatient....home same day?
Tylenol level pain relief or narcotics?
Physical therapy regimen......long and drawn out?
Back to normal in as quick as 3 months?

And any other pertinent experience(s).
