Hello decadence
Take care - I hope the medics get on top of the infection. I am thinking of you and sending positive vibes
 
The likely plan from here is another washout/debridement, as before. This shouldn't involve a long stay, as I've done all the microbiological bit. However, it's then a two-way path. Keep doing washouts, or remove the contaminated joint and replace it with a non-functional placeholder structure soaked in antibiotics. After a number of weeks with one non-functional arm, they'll try another new joint.
The pessimist in me is beginning to see an unending sequence...
