Hi Andrea,
Tell your friend Linda, bed sores are to be taken seriously. When I got home
from the hospital [ 1 month in ICU and 6 weeks in the hospital/rehab.] after my
accident, I had a bed sore the size of a golf ball right on my coccyx, it took
1 year 1/2 to heal, I had to stay in bed the whole time [ only got up to eat
and went right back to bed], my husband had to turn me side to side every 2
hours 24/7, we had a nurse who came once a week to check things out, my
husband nursed me back, I still don't know how he manage all by himself on the
little amount of sleep he got during that time. If the infection had spread to
the bone I probably be a goner by now. I also had to go see my doctor once a
week I know my husband's care saved my life. Consequently, I stay up a max. of
7 hours and go lay down an hour to relieve my "derriere" of any pressure,
although I have an electric chair w/ recliner I do not take any chances with
bed sores, we are very cautious. I never want my husband or I to go thru any
bedsores ever again. Best wishes Linda.

Stacy, I'm staying with my girlfriend Linda who is a quad and shes on the
list. Last week her nurse looked at her sores and told Linda's doctor. Now she
has to stay in bed and she is fighting it. I'm making her stay in bed until her
doctor see her this week. I'm going to set up her lap top so she can read your
story. Maybe then she will listen. Hope you are feeling better.
