Tuesday. This week we had to try and sort out how to stop the things rolling down from the top. At my knee there is now a steep step in to the leg so that was packed with soft wadding and the bandage went over the top as the outer one came up it was taken slightly back on its self and crossed up this is in the hope we can stop the roll. They look good and a day later feel good quite tight but I am used to that.

I am changing them on friday as I am away for ten days so we will see if it lasts.

Things we do :) Legs under neath are rather flaky and dry but with cream not itching so all good keep positive xgins

Hi Gins, well done I start my bandaging on 13th May but mine is only for two weeks. When I say only-- it is not a pleasant process but worth it to be more mobile. Dont know how you cope with weeks and weeks of it
