[QUOTE="ajbod, post: 2435888, member: 544995"] Latest news leg still improving nowhere near as swollen. Still one problem patch, but the groin is a tricky place. Can't be left open due to rubbing etc. Finally in a position to test bloods thanks to mother in law, (spare meter ) self funded strips etc. Also father in law sadly died on the 29th August. went downhill very rapidly. It turned out he had pulmonary fibrosis ( farmers lung ) he was a bank manager but obviously did farm walks etc especially as he preferred rural banks. Ironically the steroids that saved his life from the GCA suppressed his immune system so that a chest infection turned to pneumonia and rapidly overcame his system, stealing the remaining lung capacity he had.
