It was time to finally have treatment!

Finally took my steri strip off and had a shower.
So happy with the results already! The bulging veins have disappeared and now all I'm left with is the staining.
The clinic said the staining can take a long time to disappear.
Varicose vein removal is not a "quick fix". Final results can take up to a year to see.
Just having the bulging veins gone has given me so much more confidence!

Day 3 I was allowed to remove the old dressings and apply fresh dressings. Legs felt much better after that and it was great to see how small the incisions were.
After dressing change I had to wear the stockings again for a week and a half. They definitely helped as I am a nurse and I was on my feet all day.

I had to keep my tight pressure bandages and stockings on for 3 days. Then I was able to remove the bandages and original dressings and put the stockings back on. I had to wear them for 2 weeks post op. My legs felt better actually wearing them as when you walk it feels a little painful and the stockings really help keep the skin tight. Day 3 I was allowed to take a shower.
