What kind of mobility can I expect with an antibiotic spacer in my hip

I should also mention that during a full body skin they noticed that my bones are so weak that they are equivalent to those of a 95 y /o woman and that there is absolutely no plan for me to get a thr in the future due to the fact that I died on the table. My Ortho said to contact him if I feel like my antibiotic spacer or my femur crumbled but that's it . I did however have a debridement of my second bed sore and upon swabbing the wound, they found MRSA. That was just before I came here to the nursing home. After a month here, they did a swab and they said that I was clear of MRSA with only using vashe, no other antibiotics!

@tooyoung - first I want to welcome you to the Connect community. I'm glad you found Connect! It sounds as if you have had a horrendous battle that encompasses so much more than just the issues usually associated with joint replacements. My heart goes out to you and I'm hoping that the path gets easier as you move forward. I'm wondering if you have had time to explore some of the other Connect groups here? I would definitely suggest that you take a look at the Chronic Pain group. You might also look into the group for Anxiety & Depression. Do you think one of these groups could offer you more help in your current situation? I'm wondering what kind of feedback and discussion you think would offer you the most useful?
