Hey folks, Ive have two wounds on my butt thanks to a faulty mattres, the pumps filter was stoped plum up.  We didn't even know it had a filter it wasn't letting the mattres inflat enough.  So im nursing the wounds.  Im on a wound vac only at night it has a spliter so both wounds benefit, it seems to be helping as before the wounds were just setting there.  Im up in my chair all day, they dress my wounds before I get up with regranxs and silver.  Silas Quad for two years ----- Original Message ----- From: Lori Michaelson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] My current wound battle, pressure mapping, etc At Monday 11/1/2004 08:47 PM, you wrote: HELLO Q LIST  I HAVE A WOUND ON THE PELVIC FOR FIVE MOUNTS NOW.

HAS ANY ONE ON THE LIST USED THE SYSTEM. I was on one a month and they do work.  Our consensus is that had I NOT used it .. I'd still be in bad shape.  Mine is now a pin hole but redness around it (not infection). Lori
