My surgery has been scheduled for July 29, 2020. In October 2018 I fell and fractured my left femur and had
surgery with rod inserted. Now the head of the femur has died and I have arthritis there. So I decided on surgery.
Saw my surgeon after he had ordered blood work and it showed infection/inflammation in my results. So now I have to have a hip aspiration to see if there is infection there. Praying that is not the case. If it is then I would have to have surgery and he would put an antibiotical hip? and then 3 months later do another surgery with my permanent hip. I'm scared, confused and anxious. Has anyone ever heard of this?
