Just have to put my faith in the surgeon on the day and hope that the infection isn't there, or if it is that it doesn't 'wake up'. |

I'm not concerned about the knee replacement, but my problem is the potential dormant infection. That's the unknown so no choice, will have to take the hand that is dealt. |

They said they would take a biopsy just in case the dormant infection wakes up and if it turns out to be the case they will know what to treat it with. That sounds reasonable to me so waiting for surgery date now, expected to be within 2 to 6 weeks. |
