I am the mother of a 19 years old young man who had a dvt after a basketball injury in his knee. He is almost one year and a half after it and doing very well. He doesnt take any medication or wear his compression stokings anymore and he has no sweling or pain, just a very little red skin sometimes when he stands for a long time.

I dont come here as often as I used to. But I wanted to say two things:

. one, for the new dvt club members: I believ now that things can improve with time: last year I never thought that my son would be better today, like he is now. I dont know what is going to happen in the future, but he is swimming righ now with his friends like if nothing happened.

. two: gracias. You helped me and my family like nobody could have done. You knew what I was talking about. I found a lot of information and advice here. And emotional support from strangers living so far away from us, that sometimes I didnt find in the people around.

Even if my son is doing better, I will come from time to time when I have doubts or just to read how you are doing. I like very much some of you already and I will miss you, if I can (hopefully) stop coming here one day.

Muchas gracias. You are great and I wish you all the luck in the world.

Happy summer and hugs for all of you from Madrid,

Beln
