@darlingtondoll, A decubitus ulcer would be difficult to heal depending on the stage. The deeper the wound, the more complications can arise. Preventing a sore is not always easy. Assistance may be needed for repositioning a person often throughout the day whether in bed or a chair. @darlingtondoll a physical therapist will make a home assessment and then show you the exercises to do. Always ask the therapist questions. The more knowledge you gain, the better equipped you will be to help yourself. I know it is not easy. If things were easy everyone would do it. That is what separates the fighters or survivors from the rest of the folks. Knowledge is power.

@darlingtondoll My fracture is a L2 and I remember the Dr telling me if it was another vertabrea I would be paralyzed . SO sorry for your fracture there . So sorry for this . It is what it is right and on here it seems you have kept you spirit and humor . I congratulate you for this I dont know how I would have been in your situation .
