I relapsed with an outbreak of ga,diagnosed in '04, cleared for more than a yr,through the stress of becoming crippled, detoxing twice,all kinds of Dr. STRESS & misdiagnosis,unrelated to ga. Then,3 weeks after my helper quit me, just ready to schedule surgery, bam,i broke out like wild fire,again.Even though I had surgery in '08,with full blown ga all over, no complications, healed beautifully.  Does ga give cause to postpone surgery,in the real world?, outside of the paranoia widespread,AMONG Dr's in Fl. about everything!  It's 1 of 2 hip replacements,each w/a month? of P.T. needed after a year of being crippled,in an injury,in my home,unintentionally,by others.Alone,in agony,crippled too long,for no good reason. ANYONE,PLEASE HELP WITH INFO. Thanks!!!!
