My dad has swollen ankles. he broke his left one some years ago. He told me the doc said it may never heal properly because of his age, then 58, now 69, I can see all the tiny blood vessels spread out around the ankle, over the foot, like a bad spider web. There is some white spots which look like fungal or hard skin growth. I m really worried about it and I am becoming emotionally distraught. This is effecting my attitude. I think when dad goes, i m following him. I keep on having moments of severe depression. I can feel dads condition is effecting me, but dad says he is not in pain, I am troubled by it. Dad is very slow to address this sort of thing...I cant talk about it with him and even if I did he would not do anything probably. I dont know what to do... What do you think? I am the Son, age 47, I put my own detail in the form.
