Angela, you certainly have been through an awful lot. I sure hope they can get the infection under control. Am I understanding correctly, your choices may be hip revision or no hip at all?

@amallasch @ Colleen Young Hi, my heart goes out to the two of you. Now my 9 hour back surgery doesn't feel bad at all. I don't have pain when I have the brace on and walking every day.
How do you live without a hip and amallasch you have gone through much. I can't imagine and Colleen, my favorite gal, I didn't know you were living without a hope. Blessings to both of you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.Jeanie

Yes if we can eliminate the infection after 3 to 6 months he will put a new one in .
Thanks 🙏
