so it turns out that my remaining shoulder prosthesis is also infected and must be removed. i feel like the punchline of a cosmic joke.
ADDENDUM:
Wednesday PM -- Well, the aspiration was successful, at least. They tapped three different spots around the hemi- on my left side. One step down... maybe this time, knowing in advance what little booger is in there growing and causing trouble will make the whole rigmarole go smoother. (Last time, the aspiration was futile... and then the specimens taken at surgery were left overnight in the OR, rendering them invalid. The only positive result came from my nares --the oh-so-common MRSA -- and pray, above all, that *that* bug is not the culprit. How could it be?)
