The few sores I got on my butt were from my chair. The cushion went flat
once and just too low once. I got a few small ones on my foot caused by the
back of my shoe folded under. The ones on my crotch were from the heat I
think. Spending too much time in the sun on hot days. I could recline my
chair at the time, but my legrests would not move, so maybe I just needed a
little extra movement in the area too. I've burned myself more times then I
could count. On my fireplace and drinking hot drinks. Greg

Hello everyone------I been reading your emails about pressure sores and flap
operations---i'm curious to know if anyone knows the cause of their wounds,
besides getting older and skin thinning----- is it mostly caused by being in
wheelchair or being in bed and not doing enough pressure relief or??   I had
one on my heel that was caused by a shoe being to tight and to this day that
area still is not 100 percent ok, I know it's hard to tell when an area is
fine with all the numbness and tingling we all have, but want to know if you
that have had problems know or don't know what may have caused them?   Dan
