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.
