It takes that long for the healing of the flap to become stable. They make jogging pants that unzip down the sides. They might offer some protection to your skin while you transfer. They could be too slick, too. Have you talked to an OT about your problem?

I'm C6-7 incomplete from an auto accident 38 years ago. I just had my first minor flap surgery andcan't believe how long the recovery/rehab is! The dr. recommended a Roho cushion and I'm having a tough time transferring from it even using a transfer board. the dr. wants to avois shearing but I think that's impossible. I need to transfer from bed to w/c to shower chair 'bare bottomed'-anyideas or thoughts? I surely don't want to go thru all of the rehab. etc that I just went thru and want to return to an independent of a life as possible. Thanks! Tom
