No, he's not had it since Sprout ....although I'm a bit worried at the moment cos he fell in the garden again yesterday , and grazed his leg....which could trigger it ! But I'm keeping a close eye on it . However , they did hit the initial case pretty hard ....and he now wears surgical stockings to help with circulation ...and creams his legs regularly ....and his diabetes is under control . His uncle on the other hand has had his for over a year . 

 

 

oh heck

Ah right.  I think I might have to mention intravenous when I go.  Oh dear, is he alright after his fall?

How about using a cold hot water bottle between your knees ....to cool your legs down? 

I might have to try that. I'll need to get a bottle first though 

Oh , don't you have one  

Nah, never had any need

I know ....I'm just hoping it doesn't trigger another bout , or even ulcer .......but like I say I'm dressing it and keeping my eye on it ....first sign of anything and he'll be down docs !!!

yep, the sooner you get antibiotics the better it is to heal up quickly. My mate's doctor gives her a prescription in advance

I haven't  but any plastic bottle would do 

Or even one of those chemical/gel  packs that you can use hot or cold 

 

 

 

as long as she can seal it anything would do..otherwise she will think she's wet the bed  that would soon cool her down

I showed my daughter today , she said it should be ok , but to keep it dry ....I'm using special graze dressings ....you know , the ones with sort of cellophane , none stick stuff on them , so hopefully  it will be ok ....

I'd be frightened I squeezed too hard and it burst 

Rofl ...I was just thinking that ....but like Dame says ...at least then you'd feel cool But whatever you do , don't scratch ....otherwise it will just add to the inflammation.
