    Thank you so much, I pray that this will be the last surgery. I'm making preps now for surgery in the morning. The anticipation has been stressful.

    Hip Infection* Infection issues?

    TLHR on September 11, clean out on September 28, removed on October 16. I'm disappointed with the outcome so far but on January 22 I should have a new hip. It has been very difficult to find information on infections.

    THR I made it!

    Surgery was at 11:40 AM on Nov 13 2014. I woke up about 2:30 and was in my room with my brother and my dad by 4:30. It was nice to have family waiting for me but it was also nice to get some sleep when they left. The day of surgery wasn't that bad but even now the next day I'm in a lot more pain...
