A pressure sore :( - Page 5

A donut will increase pressure to the surrounding area though.
We were always told to never use one for pressure relief.

Well the redness is retreating a little bit, which is more than I expected at this point, so YAY. Poor Chad though, he's so sick of me rolling him, photographing him and drawing on him.

Yes, but it's fine if used for short periods to provide a bit of relief from constant turning. As with anything, you just have to be hawkish about checking skin and making sure you limit its use.

Well thank goodness for that!

Tell me, has Chad ever considered butt implants?

Glad it's looking better.

God, I wish I could somehow mutate my body into his. Once on the lips, forever on the hips for me .... for him? Skinny as a rail. He barely eats, that's why he's gotten so thin. He has gastroparesis, which makes him feel full all the time, even if he hasn't eaten in a very long time. Sometimes I have to force him to eat even once a day, and a little bit at that!

I have it too, but just learned to eat more easily digestable foods.

If I stray, I'm sick as a dog. It's helped my health, not the figure though.

Well I'll be damned. I soaked a wad of lambswool with Microcyn, put it on the wound, put a telfa over it all and left it there for 12 hours. Took it off .... MUCH better! The redness substantially receded. This stuff is a miracle balm!! It will still take quite awhile to heal, but things are definitely looking up.
