After I had my 2nd pressure wound in 2013. The wound care doctor ordered me this mattress that Medicare purchased.

Looks good. Do you have it in lateral rotation, alternating pressure therapy, or float mode? If it still isn't working contact the company. Good luck. From: DEBRA DEW [mailto:n14...@hotmail.com] Sent: 06 April, 2017 1:43 PM To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] Alternating air press

I've tried out this mattress for two days and I cannot tell the difference from my old one. I just went back to having the nurse put a bed pillow between my bottom and the mattress to try to keep me from touching the thing. I was assured it would be rotating my body a small amount to be able to

Since I haven’t gotten older without being a quad I have nothing to judge this by. It’s been 26 ½ years for me, and I turned 78 on Tuesday. I have to agree with you Jeffrey that I don’t know if what I am feeling is what everyone else feels but I have learned to live with it. My head inching,

Pain is something personal. No one knows how bad another persons pain is unless they have dealt with pain themselves and even still we all handle it different.  The true judge of pain is..can you sleep, do tasks without stopping..basically real life changing pain stops normal daily li

I feel like I've been pretty blessed when I hear what you guys have been through; what you are currently going through.  I used to wonder a lot about phantom pain.  I didn't know if I was actually feeling what you're feeling and I have learned long ago to somehow just ignore what was taking plac
