Hi Ben –
I have seen the replies and just want to chime in with a “remember that wounds
are an inside out and outside in” issue…meaning gut health, presence or not of
“opportunistic critters” in the gut, nutritional status etc. are really
important. Also, when you have a wound as you are describing you need
considerably more protein and other micronutrients to facilitate healing as
well….I hope you have a knowledgeable nutritionist on your team.
We deal with this a lot…

Subject: [QUAD-L] Re: Pressure wound advice
Thanks, everyone, for your comments and feedback. It's interesting how
different people have very different experiences. I don't yet have the Wound
VAC but should have it soon. Oddly, sitting in my chair does not seem to be
the cause of the pressure wound. So maybe it's my bed. I find it hard to
breathe when I lie on my side very long, hope a different mattress will help.
Frustrating, not knowing the cause or the best solution. But you all give me
hope that there WILL BE a solution, eventually. Peace!
