My left knee arthroplasty is infectious for the second time. Orthopedic resident and I discuss options: try crazy long antibiotics and watch as my hip arthroplasties become infected, or do a final and soon above the knee amputation. Dr Winn is my surgeon. Erin asks the smart questions, which Dr. Winn appreciated. My 12 pound leg is gone, I wake up in Recovery singing with the joy of immense pain relief. I get to go up in my bed to 903, and the care of my nursing staff is heavenly.
