Hi everyone,
im in a bit of a panic here, my gran came to see me to day and said the doc told her she has Phlebitis!!!!!
She has a hard swollen lump just below her knee the doc gave her pills to take and they put a large stocking/bandage on her leg from her foot to her thigh.
Of course i just looked it up and to my horror its linked to DVT and my gran is 77 and has been through so much in her life its just horrendous.
She also lost her daughter, my mum 3 years ago and omg i am now terrifed i am going to loose her too.
:(
i cant cope with this
