A member asked:
My mother had a femoral bypass. how can i take care of her?

TLC: Make sure the wounds are dry. Painting the incisions with betadine twice a day can help prevent infections. Be around to assist when she wants to get up and walk- walking is good thing. If she has leg swelling, a low pressure compression sock (below the knee) can help.
