Oh and if I can change the name of my thread to Juanita's hip recovery?
my hip pain for now is almost non existent , and you guys have been great and your advice has been spot on
hoping that everyone is having a good week and healing
I'm going to the urgent Care to make sure , how worried should I be that this will in some way affect my hip replacement?

I did make it in to the urgent care and I do indeed have a UTI
they gave me an antibiotic shot and sent me home with pills as well to clear this up
I want to thank you for all of the good thoughts , hope all is well with u and that you are enjoying your weekend
Please don't worry. You are on antibiotics anyway. Just take the full prescription.Is there anyway that this infection will be able to travel to my new hip?
I hope that you had a great weekend as well. I'm just really hoping that the infection I have now doesn't travel to my implant

I went yesterday and was able to have my catheter removed
I'm still on my antibiotics and feeling a little better everyday . They are still waiting for the urine culture results to make sure I'm on the right meds , hopefully I'm on the right ones now . I really hope you guys are doing and healing well 
I'm starting to get really worried now , my UTI is not getting any better and I still don't have results from my urine culture
I have phone calls into my surgeon to let them know that the pain has gotten worse and it's also moved to my back . I am still waiting for a call back , I don't know how many times I have to tell them that I can't risk any type of infection going to my new hip !!! 
so they put me in the hospital and I had IV antibiotics , finally got home tonight
I'm really hoping that all this nonsense doesn't affect my hip replacement . I'm still in pain and on oral antibiotics for 10days all I can do now is pray that this treatment works and I can finally get back to a normal life

hope everyone is doing well , I've been home resting and doing my best to recover from all these new health issues. Was wondering if anyone knows what the chances are of these bad infections traveling to my new hip
I wasn't too worried when it was just the UTI but now with the cellulitis and the diverticulitis I'm starting to get a little more stressed .
