Good morning Kjz,
Tell me your story.
I had a girdlestone resection in April of 2018 after two jop replacement infections in less than 10mos. Both times I went sepsis n almost died. But here I am 🙂.
Feel free ask or express yourself. It's not easy but over time it becomes your normal.

I was in accident in 2010. Broken femur. They put a rod and a plate on it. Hardware worked it's way out of hip joint. 2018 due to damage from hardware moving across hip joint. The removed the joint. I now have just a plate on the femur.
