One of the reasons I'll never use a ROHO (flats). I've never heard of anyone healing by staying up that long. If possible have someone tie off the one rubber tube section that would contact the spot, leaving it softer than the rest of the cushion. Not knowing your support system (aids, family etc) it's hard to give advice. If it is not deep sometimes a sterile wet to dry will help heal it. I know people who swear by fresh Aloe instead of saline, but you need a plant and know your reactions. And no 15 hr sits! Try to get into bed for breaks. A little sacrifice now may prevent a 12 week bed stay recuperating from a flap!

Now I have an open sore, not under an ischule (sp?), but off to the side. 3 years ago I had a pressure sore and literally laid in bed for 4-6 hours every afternoon for a year and finally opted for flap surgery. Has anyone had any success getting rid of one? And if so, can you tell me what you did? I'm usually in my chair 15 hours/day. > > Thanks, > > Sharon > > P.S. Spring is on its way! Hurray!
