Hi Greg,
If it's a pressure sore....then you are getting pressure.....without
question. If it's Stage 4
then I recommend...and this sucks......complete bed rest on an air
circulating mattress, start
drinking protein shakes and use a wound vac (they are amazing). 2 years
ago, I had a Stage
4....was in bed for 5 months but healed completely.
Best,

Subject: [QUAD-L] Butt Sore
I got a small sore just next to my tail bone. At first it was dime size and
shallow. It had that white/gray dead flesh in the center. The wound has
closed up size, but gotten deeper. We just start to get rid of the dead
stuff and then it's covered with it again. We pack it with some packing
strip stuff to keep it from closing. I have had a wound nurse coming out,
but now I'm going in to a wound clinic to see what's wrong. It's getting
real deep. we get it looking healthy, but then more dead stuff. I don't have
pressure on it, and no idea why it's doing this. It wants to close up, but
I'm told not to let it while it has dead tissue and is draining.
