[QUAD-L] Pressure sore solutions?

[William Willis]

I've been trying to get a couple of sores healed for almost two years now, 
on my ankle and butt. I use wet-to-dry everyday. They get no worse but 
neither do they heal. So far they are free of infection. I drink a protein 
shake every day. I've about decided that I will take them to my grave. I 
just hope they are not what send me there. Larry Willis

Exact scenario here too.  The vac closed up HALF of my wound in 24 hours.
We were so thrilled!  A few more days and it'll be closed completely.
Wrong!
It just stopped healing for, like you, about 2 months.  Then diligence in
putting on this or that on the wound and keeping it dry ... my husband got
it closed in January.
But it still gets red, rashy and such so we found wearing a pad daily 
helps.
 And desitin or myconesal or whatever it seems to need ... is put on at
night.
