Like the others said vitamin c is good but also high protein drinks such as 
Boost are good also. Dan*

months in bed and only got up once a week to go to the wound Doc. It finally 
did heal and I am back in my chair with a Roho cushion all the time.  Be sure 
and eat plenty of protein. I did not want to stay in bed either BUT the sore

one. Can you guys please give me some advice on what you use or used. Thanks

  Also be sure to get plenty of Vitamin C. If you're not on blood thinners or 
other prescription medications that would prohibit its use, then you need to 
take 6,000 mg a day. But don't get it from a grocery store or pharmacy. Find 
out what the most absorbable type of C is online (my memory escapes me at the 
moment) and get it from a vitamin specialty store. If you don't have one 
locally, Vitacost.com is a good place to buy supplements. Hope this helps.
