Discharged too soon after operation

I had knee replacement surgery here. I was due to go down in the morning but due to an emergency my operation was pushed back. At 2pm I returned to the ward from the operation and the physio turned up at 2:30. I told them that I had only just had the operation but they were adamant. They literally dragged me up and down the ward and told me I was fine to go home. It was excruciating and made me throw up. It turns out they thought I had the operation first thing that morning and didn't listen when I said it was pushed back. I feel I wasn't ready to be discharged and they just wanted me out so they could have the bed. They are terrible, I'm dreading having my other knee done.
