Seen the ortho doc this afternoon. Without fail I have to remain on antibiotics. He's going to discuss with the other ortho docs and the infectious disease doctor, about drawing from my knee to check for ANY bacteria.
This stuff, Enterococcus E Faecalis, may still be within the knee. If it's still in the knee, doing antibiotics for a year would be a waste of time. Surgery for a completely new replacement would likely happen.
Let's hope there is none in the knee.
