You've been through a lot - and you will get through this. Like you I had consecqutive infections, multiple rounds of home IV antibiotics, spacers, etc - for me this went on for 7 years - 13 hip surgeries later I am infection free, antibiotic free and enjoying life. Unfortunately due to deformed bones to start with and partially my choice, they could not put another hip replacement in on my left side so I had a Girdlestone procedure where they take out everything and I have no left hip joint at all - yes I do have to use a walker to walk - some do not - but I am live, well and able to do most of what I could do before. Msg me if you would like more details. Paula
