I had huge ones on my heals my 3rd year about 4 cm deep 3cm wide but healed in about 6-7 months using wet to dry dressing  and betadine cleansing.   FROM TOO TIGHT DRESS SHOES ----- Original Message ----- From: Houston809 To: Don and Sharon Hiatt ; quadlist Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 8:25 AM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Pressure sore solutions? I always ended up doing a flap when I  had 1 back there never any success. The 1s on my heels regranex in the morning silver deen cream in the evening it still took almost a yr 2 heal 1 and I needed a skin graft on my other heel matter of fact a second skin graft because 1st didn�t take. So as I think about it no help from me. On 3/14/05 8:04 AM, "Don and Sharon Hiatt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Everyone! I can't figure out how to go through the archives, so hope you don't mind me asking about the age-old pressure sore question...Is there a good way to get rid of one?  3 weeks ago I sat on my Roho without air and needless to  say, my butt didn't like it.  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!  I'll give you a yell, Stacy, when we head to O.C.!
