Knee surgery Qs?

I got MCL/MPL surgery 60 hours ago. They stitched one back together, and put a bolt in my bone to reconnect the other, since they tore differently. I cannot walk, and there's a 6 inch surgical cut on the inside of the knee. I am wondering how long recovery time is.
I fell on it on the way home, so the doctors and nurses will only tell me not to worry about that and to take it easy. I fell and broke the immobilizing brace, and went back to the hospital, they sent me home with 6 stitches to reclose the cut.
So how long will it be?

the stitches will prolly be in about 2 weeks. Recovering from that type of surgery will not be easy. Lots of PT and exercise. I would say at least 4 months
