Hi Larry, I know you've probably tried every 'modern' treatment out there ... have you ever tried using the old wet to dry saline and gauze packing? I was in a nursing home waiting for a flap to be done and my Ex and I got so frustrated that we demanded they try the old wet to dry. I went in Christmas Eve and was out by Valentines Day. I did stay off my butt, but, this was in 2007-2008 and it's been good since. Btw, I'm nearly 63 years old and I'm close to 46 years post injury. I hear you abut being less motivated ... I've lost a lot of my get up and go also.
Take care.

A few years ago I got ostyomolits (bone infection) and did 5 days in the hospital and 8 weeks on vincamyacn. A nurse visits 3x a week and takes care of it, I spend most of my time off of it so it don't get worse and it well probably go with me to my grave but I'm not going to let it put me there.

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. I simply cannot and will not spend the 12 months or more in bed that healing would require. It burns and hurts like crazy some days....and nights. However, I am 62 and 43 years post. I'm pretty sure I'm not nearly as motivated as I once was. Sent from my iPad
