I've been in bed since December 2012. I've only been getting out of bed into my chair once a month to go to the wound clinic. I use to hate being in bed but have realized what the problem was that with my adaptive input not setup to use from bed I couldn't do anything. Now that I can use the computer from bed and control the tv/dvr using a slingbox, I can do everything I would normally be doing from bed. No need to get dressed, do transfers in and out of bed saving about an hour a day to do something else.
My would was small but deep. I was given the option of flap surgery but that would require going to the hospital then a nursing home. No thanks. So it's healing slowly, no infections. My nurses change the packing in the wound daily. Jim
