If your going to do the protein thing, I suggest buying a hand-held stick
blender and buying whey protein in bulk. You can get it in 2-5 pound
containers. My problem is to much of an appetite.
I always advise anyone with a sore to first and foremost, stay off of it.
I know staying in bed sucks but you have to for the area to heal. Where
are the sores on your hips? If there not from sitting, maybe the pressure
is from whatever your sleeping on. I think you should see a wound care

Hiya Rose. Much depends on the type of wound and stage of wound. We were
fortunate to have a few RN with certification in wound therapy. They
would change to wound wrap, twice a day and pack the wound. Sometimes, they
would do it once a day, depending on Doctor's Orders. Pictures of the

The only tape that will work for me without breaking down the skin around a

Hi Dan,
I use it on a adjustable bed. Because of the way it is designedit holds up without bunching or rolling on the mattress. I do use a firm inner-springmattress under it, and I turn and rotate the mattress about once every two months.

I have had a terrible time with pressures sores. Either my skin gets red or it breaks
open. My problem with my skin
occurs all year long and is frustrating not only because of time it takes to
heal but also because I have had to cancel or postpone many activities I wished
and planned to
post.
