Infection most likely not in bone or hardware in the leg. Fingers crossed because that's a whole new level of concern.

Tons of pain since surgery Wednesday, yesterday was one of his worst days over the last 7 weeks. Likely a combination of residual pain from procedure, continued infection and inflammation, all of which is likely subsiding.

Body just wrecked, sore, weak. Hip has been killing him and swollen, worried about clotting now. More diagnostic "stuff" today.

But, today is already better than yesterday. Appetite better. Pain better. hopefulness seems better. Me too.

Lots yet to resolve between trying to get back to rehab, balanced with wild instability in knee, with desperately wanting to go home with infection and likely cannot perform another knee surgery at the moment due to infection.

So, "walking" the uncharted with the medical team who are trying to advise while debating amongst themselves...and certainly a bit with us.
