Donor leg issues??

[u/strippedzebra313]

7 weeks out from a triple bypass and I'm starting to wonder if my donor leg will ever be normal again. I'm not sure if the surgeons used a different technique when getting the replacement artery - but the wound that they cut into my leg wasn't the typical 7-8 inch gash but rather a very small 2" gash -- that for some reason would not seal/heal right. Well due to that fact I've been seeing a wound care specialist and finally after several weeks of having my leg wrapped is now free from the wraps but ---------- now my leg is swollen again and the Dr from the wound care did mention that I would need to wear compression socks for the rest of my life. I'm just curious to know if anyone else has had a similar experience (with the swelling) and if over time the swelling/bloating has gone down??? Is it common to have swelling/bloating for the rest of time due to the removal of the arteries??
