Alright just to give you guys a quick rundown, I had cancer at 13, and had to have my entire knee joint replaced by a titanium prosthetic. It's encased by flesh, sinew, muscle, and all that good stuff. It just looks like a horribly-scarred left knee.
Yesterday, I look down and notice a dark-yellow filmy crust over a small cut on that leg. I never knew I had this cut. When they did the surgery, I was left with no nerve endings in that area of my leg. That cut could have been their days, just gathering germs. The problem here not only lies in the possible infection, but the combination of an internal prosthetic and an infection usually leads to an amputation. I got to the doc's as fast as possible, and he sent me home with an 'I don't know. Come back on friday.'
By friday, an infection will be well on it's way.
