Get out and go... while you still can! (A whiney rant)

The spacer should be imbedded with antibiotics, please ask the doctors. You will be on a walker or crutches the entire time as the doctor may limit how much weight you can put on the leg.

Sometimes these infections don't elevate the white blood cell count too high, but once cultured the infection shows up. I've had several patients over the years requiring removal of hardware and once the infection is cleared they do well with the new replacement

Praying for a speedy recovery for you.
