Hi everyone,

Regarding the question asked below, I am in the process of doing this just now. Go to the web site I posted above and look at the cushion. I am presently sitting on one of these cushions and have been doing so since July 30, 2004. I have been battling a sore on my buttocks since January 2000. In April a wound specialist came and put me on a program of acucell alevynn (basically the acucell is addressing impregnated with colloidal silver, and the alevynn is a self-adhesive dressing to go over everything). The wound specialist are coming in April a month ago my sore had reduced quite a bit, but since sitting on this new cushion it has closed completely. The wound specialist was here today and told me she wouldn't have to come back anymore.

However, that doesn't mean I don't have to be careful on this new cushion. I sit up from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then I lay down until 6 p.m. when I get up for supper. I go back down between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Gale :-)

Yes, on a seat coushion called the ish-dish. There is a U shape cut out in the center and back of the coushion where you ishium(sp) sits.

I do not know the web site.

Has anyone ever healed a wound while sitting up daily?
