    Knee Infection* TKR Infection 2 Years Out

    Jamie, I saw an infectious disease doctor in the hospital, and she spoke to my doctor before she created an antibiotic/medication plan. I am going to see my infectious disease doctor once the bandages/vacuum are removed. I also have a follow up with my PC doctor.
