God bless you BabyPanda for your compassion to the other patients. The facility you're at sounds very similar to the one I was at for the short period. I'm glad you were able to have the spacer put in so someday you can have a new hip. My infection was too bad, dead muscle and bone that had to be removed and spacer was not an option after the surgeon got in there. All my hardware was removed and just left with a femur and part of a pelvis (Girdlestone). I'm learning to get around with walker and crutches, but I'll never have a hip joint again. I'm on life long oral antibiotics now from my Infectious Disease Dr for chronic osteomyelitis. Hopefully you can find a pattern for sleep during these next few weeks you are in this facility to help your body heal. You'll be in my prayers...God bless you.....Cindy
