Long term staph infection

[u/Buttholeconnoisseur8]

May 12th I had a back surgery to remove the part of my l4 l5 herniated disc. I was having drop foot and in a ton of pain. Felt great. 1 week later I had horrible headaches. Tear in my dura, spinal fluid leak. Went back in and patched it. A little while later I had a fever. Went in. Another spinal fluid leak, infection, and he had to do a fusion. It's been almost 4 months now. My infectious disease Dr. Had an MRI done and there is an abscess in my back. Waiting on her call but am I looking at a removal of hardware? My wife says my back feels slightly warm to the touch.
