Mostly it is important to keep off the pressure sore COMPLETELY. Not just an hour here and there also eat lots of protein....nuts are a good snacking food for extra protein. Good Luck, it took 6 months but mine finally healed. Rose In a message dated 1/16/2014 10:31:50 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi All, I'm going to a new wound center (new to me) and was wondering if there are any do's & don'ts when I go? This center is also one of the top burn units in New Jersey. I've had a stage 2 sore on my Ishium for over 3 months. Sometimes it Ozzis clear then it bleeds. I know that bleeding is a good sign. I got this sore September 25th after siting in a brand new chair for about 5-6 weeks. I we extremely active in this new chair because I was sooooo very comfortable. I've only been up out of bed once since the above date. On top of my mattress I lay on a Roho mattress which has served me well (over 15 years) but now I believe it is time for an alternating pressure pad with pump to put on top of my mattress. I've been doing quite a bit of research on different brands and styles. Does anybody have any recommendations or something to stay away from?
