Healing isn’t just about closing the wound — it’s about preventing the next one.

With compression therapy, skin care education, and lifestyle support, Rhoda’s ulcer began to heal. She learned how to:

Wear and maintain compression stockings

Elevate her legs daily

Monitor for swelling, odour, and pain

Maintain good nutrition and blood sugar control

This wasn’t just about healing her ulcer — it was about protecting her future.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:

Education and prevention are the real keys to venous leg ulcer recovery.

No one heals a venous ulcer alone.

Rhoda’s team expanded:
Wound nurse specialist for regular review

Vascular team for circulation assessment

Dietitian for protein and micronutrient support

Physiotherapist for mobility and exercise

Social worker for at-home support

This team approach meant Rhoda wasn’t fighting her venous ulcer alone anymore.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
Venous ulcer healing requires more than one set of hands — it needs a whole team.

When venous ulcers are left untreated, they don’t wait — they worsen.

Four weeks later, Rhoda’s ulcer had spread around her leg. The pain spiked to 7/10. Odour and heavy ooze filled her days. This was no longer just a wound — it was a sign of uncontrolled venous disease. Her independence, mobility, and dignity were at risk.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:

Odour, pain, and increased fluid are red flags. Venous ulcers demand urgent, ongoing care.
