I have made a decision to be going down ,to bed, during the day to rest and to get the weight
off my butt. I think I've developed a pressure sore on my left hip.
The sore is located, sort of high up on the hip. He my health person
didn't see it first time I suggested that I may have a wound . Honey
on closer inspection found what she thought to be a wound. I had Honey attempt to apply the second skin tape that Dianne used to use but Honey
doesn't have the same skill level Dianne does. The tape became all scrunchy
last night when I applied my lotion and this morning I took the tape
off completely because the tape had bunched up during the night And I
was afraid to take because more problems and what the tape might
solve.
Now I'm wrestling with the question of going to my care provider for wound care management? Remember last
month, I went in and there was all this hassle about taking information from
me regarding payment online.The event was all pretty draconian. Theoretically now that I have become
established at the wound clinic I should get more readily served. I
still do not think they appreciate pro-action at the wound clinic. I got
the impression they wound clinic will see you but they would much rather have you
make your appointment. My knee-jerk reaction that says that's
garbage but I've been spoiled by the University of Utah who really
focuses on wound care and wound care prevention. So maybe I'll make an appointment for
tomorrow, Friday. Today I have a number of things that must be focused on.
I'm going to have to because about either do pressure releases all day all
the time or get myself down in bed which I cannot see happening but
better to go to bed ,at this stage,than allow the wound progress to a really to really dangerous level.
I see my occupational therapists
and whoever else will be involved in my chair review, which is
scheduled for next week. I know it is my power chair which has caused me to start putting extra weight
on the left cheek causing this wound . I try to be proactive which is
not working. Today I have my coffee group and then I have to go out
to West Jordan at four for the read long. I will cause some damage to
the cheek but the damage will hopefully be minimal. After the coffee
group I'm going to try to lay down to take the weight off. Maybe
later this afternoon after I get back from the read along. I need to
remember that I still have to exercise on the arm cycle for 45
minutes. Hopefully, the chair review well help in getting some
remedies to my problems. The only issue with that is that the chair
review can be relatively long-term Maybe a new cushion would be more
forthcoming but even that takes time. I have even thought about
starting to use the old chair, the backup chair and see what happens
is that the that helps.All the legally by three but I'll be around
until then. And I don't need to be there when you here. You're just
look at a trustable
Once again I'm frightened, concerned
yet hopeful I will be okay.
