I used a full electric blanket yrs ago after my injury. One night I rolled on my side and the blanket got wedged between my knees. When I woke up I had two burns with blisters on the insides of my legs. Thats the danger, if the blanket gets on the skin  ith weight and you dont move. Ron

I wanted to dress up a bit for a photo, jeans instead of sweats. Only 1 day and I got a sore on my butt. It was not bad, but kept getting worse. Found out I was bottoming out my Roho. The cover I used was a bit too big. So the Roho was spreading out too much. Now last night my shoulder really

Wow, guys, Some tough situations and even tougher people. I've had a 4 inch sore on my butt for over 6 yrs. It just refuses to heal. We dress it twice a day. It is not deep and doesn't tunnel. However, it is a wide open sore. I sit on a Roho and fully expect to take this sore to the grave with me.
