Thanks everyone for all your suggestions!  I started taking a multivitamin and 
am trying to increase my protein and calories.  I've lost a lot of weight since 
my accident which hasn't helped my skin integrity.  I know if I can get it to 
granulate new tissue by keeping it covered I will be better off in the long 
run.  If I let it scab over when it heals I'll have an indentation and nothing 
between bone and skin.  I like the idea of using the new skin to toughen it up 
after its healed.  This site is great, you've given me so many more ideas than 
my doctor has had.  I will let you know how it goes and what works.
