I'm sitting in a motorized chair most of the day. The big problem
is that after 2 - 3 hours of sitting, my buttocks become red, especially
in a certain spot (on the right side, right under the bone!). Remember
that i cannot feel my body, so i can't say when the sitting is too much
for me and hurts.
Due to that i must have some rest in bed (laying on the side
to rest my red spot) in the middle of the day: at noon and in the evening.
I'm using a "Jay" sitting pillow, which is a special one contains
gel. It helps, of course, but NOT ENOUGH...... I really don't want
to get a pressure wound, because this is the worst thing which will make
me stay in bed half a year till it recovers!! However, i can't make
any plans for long-term periods of times, like going out, travel, etc.
I'm limited enough from this TM, and this is no help at all!
Please, if anyone has any idea, experience, suggestions, etc.--- I would really appreciate it a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Netta
