I had a knee and hip replacement 5 weeks apart a little over six years ago. Climbing up the stairs to get into the rig would be a challenge and more challenging exiting the rig. My rehab was at home in Yuma and all on one level. Not much of a challenge but I did have one step up.
I would think if you go through rehab at a rehab center after the operation you would stand a better chance because you would be more recovered before you got to the rig.
Getting out of the rig would still be difficult because of the step downs. If you were to misstep or slip and fall you could do a lot of damage. You would need to be very very careful.
It would probably be best if you could lay up a little while someplace flat. JMO
