@darlingtondoll I am glad to hear you are planning to start your home exercise program again. Sounds like you may have a sacral decubitus ulcer because of its location. It will be difficult to cure with compromised circulation since you get edema in the lower extremities. Be careful. You are right. I would avoid getting the bandages wet. Do more exercises not involving being under water. A few years ago I could not walk so the physical therapist at home showed me exercises to do while laying on the couch to decrease my risk for DVTs. I did them twice daily. They were not difficult and long at all, maybe 10-15 minutes each time. Improving your circulation through exercise can not only help decrease the healing time with your sacral wound but will also decrease the edema as well.
