Those exact protein drinks are available at Sam's club as well as at Cosco, are a good price, and they even tastes good!

Re: [QUAD-L] Sore near my tailbone, got to stay off, need advice.
Same wound on my ishial, caused by shearing,i.e., my mattress is made up with air pockets and the bed has multiple movement settings. If I bring my head up without raising my feet first it causes a "shear" problem between my skin and skeleton. Picture your skin as a sack that. Houses your skeleton. Never had any breakdown until the VA gave me the bed. Also, I have a ROHO Contro Select cushion that has my ishial suspended over a hole so it provides pressure relief in that. Area. Meds Iam using: Santyl to disenffect the wound covered by Mepilex change when necessary. Once odorless I use Aquacel in the wound to close up. This works best for me. Your wound specialist knows better. The FIRST THING IS TO STOP WHATEVER IS. CAUSING THE PRESSURE.

Like the others said vitamin c is good but also high protein drinks such as Boost are good also.

I take it and order it as well. They say you cant overdose on it. ron On Thursday, September 22, 2016 4:50 AM, Carolyn Boyles wrote: Also be sure to get plenty of Vitamin C.

If you don't have one locally, Vitacost.com is a good place to buy supplements. Hope this helps.
