Bad News
Just found out after 23 months my replacement prosthesis needs to be removed due to a MSSA infection. Think staph and you know how that can be. It will be awhile before the surgeon knows whether he can go back and try (his words) to do a 2nd one. Gotta got through a hell of a antibiotic regimen first. IV in the hospital for a week.
The cause? Very likely dental work done a couple months ago. They tell you in the pre-op instructions to not have dental work done for a least 30 days prior to surgery. So there must be something to it. No one ever said don't go to a dentist for the rest of your life.
Fkucing tooth wasn't worth it.
Anyway, all my tools are for sale if anyone nearby is interested. About 25 grand to replace so there's a lot. I'll make a list and put it up on the Misc FS forum.
