    My Pre-Op went well with most of my questions answered. @clodaghcov gave me some good advice to add to my arsenal as well. It took me awhile to understand that my lifestyle needed some adjustments and that there will be limitations on what I can do but stressing over it just makes it worse...

    I hate that you are going thru all this but I do appreciate the feedback from someone who understands my situation. You are a strong person to endure all you have gone thru. My surgeon has told me if I have another infection that I will have to go thru all this again and that the spacer would...

    Wow. Thank you so much for this article. I learned a lot and I am glad to say that my current surgeon is already following most of the pre-op preventative measures. It also gave me a lot to think about for post-op preventive measures. I think a few life style changes may be in order...(with my...

    So I have my Pre-Op for what is hopefully my last surgery on the 21st. I am trying to put together a list of questions to ask my doctor and I was hoping some of the members might have a few suggestions on some questions I should ask. Here are the questions I have so far. What is the post-op...

    Thanks for the encouragement Layla. It really does help talking to people who understand what you are going thru. They have bumped my surgery up to 10/31/19 so it is fast approaching. I will be glad to get passed it but a little nervous as well

    Thank you so much for this information. I have written down a few questions but it is all so overwhelming. I was wondering if you might suggest a few more questions that might get me some direct answers. I currently have a pre op but it is with one of his PAs. I am going to try and get it...

    Thanks Layla. Joining the Forum has made me realize that I need to take my head out of the sand and stop accepting what Im told as if that is all I need to know.

    No, I was referred to him after my first LHP got infected twice. He was highly recommended by several doctors and I guess I have been so focused on dealing with the immediate problem that I haven't given much thought to what comes next or the "what ifs". His name is Jeremy Statton. He is with...

    Yes I do and they have been very helpful but seem to avert the question when I ask what is the long term plan. I guess I need to be more aggressive in my discussions

    So I had my first surgery in June 2017. Two months later it got infected and I went into Septic Shock. The surgeon did emergency surgery and did a partial hip replacement. I was put on antibiotic infusions for six weeks. Even though I seemed to be getting better I never felt right and always...
