Thank you so much for your ...Good afternoon Kyra:)<br /> Thank you so much for your keeping us informed about Jan and his healing process! I know you have to be so *ready* for more improvement.<br /> Jimmy hasn't had surgery for his blood clot in his leg.They told him that it can take up to eight months for it to dissolve with blood thinners. What is amazing to me is that a new vein is building itself around the clogged one. They discovered it the last Ultrasound that they did on him.They said that sometimes happens.:)They told him to keep his leg above his heart to keep the swelling down. It seems to be working for him.:)<br /> It has to be so hard on Jan to be sitting so much and not able to get his hands into the gardening. When my Dad had to sit for long periods because of leg problems..he would put puzzles together at the table. He got really good at it too.:)<br /> I sure hope YOU are taking care of YOURSELF during this time too!! <br /><br />Huge hugs my friend!<br />ValindaVJ's Scrap Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191323686448676797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-23176072731778708052014-09-27T06:22:39.235+02:002014-09-27T06:22:39.235+02:00Hello and Thank you for the updates Kyra.

Jan has certainly had a run of bad luck with his leg not healing properly.<br />Hopefully the bandaging will work and his leg will heal soon.<br />I would be very worried if it was happening to my husband too.<br />I hope you both manage to have a great weekend, try to get some rest and relaxation and try not to worry too much...Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-58182369572037231332014-09-26T23:28:37.065+02:002014-09-26T23:28:37.065+02:00Oh my, I can't imagine poor Jan who is always ...Oh my, I can't imagine poor Jan who is always fixing and puttering and now to be unable to even get his trousers on. My knee went to the wind like that last year when I fell. Elevating it drinking lots of fluid seemed to wash away the swelling.<br /><br />I took another nasty fall last Sunday but I didn't do too much to the knees. I always seem to "face-plant" myself when I fall. this time I just bounced off two doorways. the three doors at this end of the mobile home are sort of fixed together. no walls in between so it's not too easy to get around in here.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm praying for a good outcome for Jan and for you also. God Bless you both!!Grandma Sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335099802170584225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863343108061337120.post-26365507848245994992014-09-26T16:32:57.411+02:002014-09-26T16:32:57.411+02:00Gosh, I'm so sorry that Jan is having so much ...Gosh, I'm so sorry that Jan is having so much trouble with his leg. It's good that the nurse will come to the house though. Sometimes this is the best way to take of these things. <br /><br />Hopefully, the weather will stay nice for quite a while and Jan will be able to sit outside in the garden. Maybe he could tend to some of the pots while he is sitting by a table. As long as he keeps his spirit up, he'll be okay.<br /><br />You remember to take care of yourself too. This is very important. I'm wishing you a fabulous weekend my friend. Hugs ,Edna B.Edna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550994321689374875noreply@blogger.com
