My mother has been living this nihgtmare for 6 months already. She went in for a hio replacement and everything went wrong. Had so many infections. Connected to two wound vacs. Currently doesnt have a hip bc of it becoming infected. Been home for almost 4 months still is not ambulatory, difficulty standing for longer than a minute. Working on transfers but difficult. She is in a very low place bc she feels ike her independence was taken away and will never be the same. She would love to speak to others in this position.
Please reach out

Hello Lisa...I am new to this forum and I have been without a hip since Feb of 2022 due to severe infection. I am 70, but doing much better and using walker and crutches for mobility. I hope your Mom is improving and reach out to me if I can answer any questions. It's a hard journey back to independence, but I'm getting there slowly.

Hello @lisalisa11, Welcome to Connect. I know it has to be difficult for you as well as your mother dealing with the hip replacement and subsequent infections for 6 months. I don't think @mary121658 is following Connect since her last post was in 2020.
@darlas1967, @terrirussell, @vmwjbc, @jholland and others may have some suggestions or thoughts they can share with you.
