I had my hip replaced 08/19/2020. I developed a very light rosy colored rash. Wound was just pouring drainage. September 24, 2020 I was readmitted and they washed out wound and replaced parts. They said it was saph and would require six or more weeks of iv antibiotics. I needed a blood transfusion and I was anemic and they said I was malnourished to. That part I just don’t know if I believe. But anyway they gave me a feeding tube and had me eating three means a day or as much as I could anyway. Then I was put in a nursing home for thirty day I. Order to get the iv antibiotics. Thirty pounds more and a month later I got to go home with a yearz worth of antibiotics to take too.
It was a long journey but do whatever they tell you so you can get to
Feeling better. Remember it can always be worse. I’ll be praying for you!

Oh my goodness, what an experience. I am glad that you are feeling better. Thank you for sharing. You are right , it could always be worse. My physical therapist tells me that I am progressing well. I go back to the surgeon next week for my 6 week follow up.
