You are absolutely right, Steve. I've been telling myself this for the
longest time. I work full time as a teacher and I just haven't been able to
face the unpleasant facts. Whatever route I take is going to be a rough one.

William,
If you have been battling a substantial pressure sore for nearly four
years,
a tilt chair cannot hurt and may very well help, but I don't see how you
can
expect any long term healing without staying off the wound until it is
completely healed. As others have pointed out, your wound could be far
worse
internally than what you can see on the surface, and you may be risking
more
serious consequences. Being relegated to bed for several weeks or even
months is a dismal prospect, but time invested now should result in long
term positive benefits. Think of what a relief it would be not having to
continually care for your wound and worry about how much time you are
spending in your chair.
I wish you luck,
Steve
