I was under the impression you sit like that in your chair when you
said you sit with your legs crossed. I do in bed for not for a long
time. One leg would be bent over the other but I see red marks on my thigh
sometimes and that would be where a pressure sore would start if I sat
like that too long. Just need to be careful crossing those legs.

Hi Stacy,
Thanks for your advice on that one, I only sit crossed legged when
sitting on the floor, but I might try and get in the habit of sitting with
straight legged instead!
Thank you!

Hi there,
I would be careful sitting with your legs crossed. I was told
that it could hinder your circulation. I know that before I got sick,
my legs would fall asleep if I sat in that position for too long of a
time. That was to let me know that circulation wasn't getting to my
leg. Now that paralysis is involved, it's really not a good
idea.
