Walking without a hip joint

Hi. My husband is currently living without a hip, he’s 53 years old. Same thing as yourself, a yeast infection. He was advised the only way to try and clear it was to remove the hip joint. It’s now been 7 months and following antibiotic treatment he has a follow up appointment next week to see if the infection has cleared and if so, they will look at putting the hip back in. He’s been advised that the likelihood of recurrence is high due to type of yeast infection it is. There was another post on here a few months ago from a man named Mike and he’s been without a hip for over 2 years and has learned to adapt to cope with it. If you scroll through posts, you may find it, it definitely helped in knowing that other people have similar issues and dealing with them. Good luck with your recovery.
