I don't know if you can heal the wound and still get up 12 hours a day. I know 
it is hard to choose between a job and healing a wound. If there is a way you 
can work from home and cut your hours back in the chair. I nursed a wound for 
the last three years that I worked and it was a major reason that I gave up 
working and became my useless lazy self. If I could change anything I'd have 
retired to arizona or nm. I would have begged for my job if it had meant as 
much to me, but I was tired. I don't wish your choice on anyone. I don't think 
anyone makes a low air loss seat cushion yet, but that would be a major leap in 
seating no insurance would pay for. 
 
good luck with whatever you decide.

I don't think it will ever feel if you continue to get up.  My sores will not 
and I always go to the hospital wounds Center where they can correctly monitor. 
 They also give me the necessary 
supplies and treatment.  The used a waferlike material called fibercol that was 
very expensive.  You would cut smaller than the wound and put inside and cover 
with a gauze.  They would debried every couple weeks.  I remember it taking six 
months to heal and I was in bed about two years ago.  It was caused by a laptop 
power cord getting overheated as I switch from side to side and move the 
laptop, being under my lower bottom where your leg and bought meet.  I would 
just get up long enough to wash my hair.  I got really sick of it and would've 
gone crazy with out my laptop.  Ha ha
