@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.

I adjusted the seat on my wheelchair to go forward by four inches which means that I now have a space between the seat and the back. When I sit, my butt (along with my ulcer) is suspended so there’s no pressure on the ulcer. I lie on my side at night and also during the day when I rest.
