whoops! I meant 3 x 3 cm.

same here. This is my first sore in my lifetime. It's right over my
ischemia. It's a stage II. I cannot stay in bed because it makes me
very weak. So, I have to get in my chair no matter what. I went to
the wound clinic and they debrided it. Now I am treating it every
day with an ointment that dissolves dead tissue. Almost all the dead
tissue is now gone. So, I'm hoping the wound will slowly close up.
Right now it is 3 cm x 30 cm. Wish me luck!

I've had a sore on my butt for months now. It was not wide, butt it
was deep (7cm) I think. I've been going to a wound clinic and it's
down to only (2cm), butt it seams to have stalled. It's just right
and above my tail bone. I think it's from bed not my chair. It goes
in, then tunnels sideways. I sleep partly on that side, well...
did. Though I did sit slightly tilted a lot. I'm going to get
pressure mapped again just to check. I still get up in my chair
every day, I'm just reclining a lot. I know it would heal faster if
I stayed in bed, even if it's not caused by my chair. I'm sure it
gets some pressure there sitting up. I just couldn't stand laying
in bed that long.
