My SIL and best friend have both had it. It was just a slow recovery - take the drugs the first few days! My SIL tried to power through and not take them on day 3. She invited us over for dinner.. it was horrible. She was miserable and in so.much.pain. So we left! My best friend took the drugs, almost lit her kitchen on fire while on them, but the pain was tolerable! LOL
Both went up stairs backwards as @Beebug suggested!

Aw, I hope the surgery goes well and your DH has a quick recovery!

It's definitely "just" a scope if he's hoping to work 3 days post-op!

I had a scope too (same injury too!) Reconstruct is like 8 weeks of nothingness, long long recovery!

Doable depending on his work! I was in the middle of exams when I had mine done, and was still able to go to my exams, the first was two days post-op. I did not take drugs post-op and definitely over did it, drugs was doable, but I still feel bad twinges in one spot on the outside of knee I know I did too much on, so while doing "stuff" is ok, there definitely needs to be a limit, and he has to make sure to not push it

I was on my horse again a few weeks post-op. Was skiing again 8 weeks later (which....was probably too much.....but I did it) physio was key, don't skip out on that!!
