Hi Linda I hope you are doing well. I too had in infection, then concrete spacer, IV antibiotics for 6 weeks and then surgery to put joint in. They had actually toook everything out and then new stuff in. I was on a walker or like 8 weeks so I am happy that you are on a cane. It’s easy to get stressed and depressed. What helped me was prayer, and having this supportive community. Things may look bleak but you will get through this and come out better than before.
