I know relieving all pressure is absolutely essential to healing a pressure sore. But I simply refuse to stay in bed for six months. I know it sounds awful negative, but I refuse to waste six months of life on a miserable bed stay. I'll soon be 65, and will be 45 years post next Sunday, Aug 7. Like Joan, I choose to roll the dice. Whatever the outcome, I'll live with it.....or die with it. Regardless, I'll face this world with my ass in the saddle. Larry Willis
