I'm glad you are taking care of your pressure sore. To be in a nursing home and to have the sore to the bone is inexcusable. I know it's hard but I would like to suggest a few things. Can you stay on your alternating pressure mattress and be sure to turn at LEAST every two hours? Can you take your extra prn meds? If the sore is causing pain that is actually a good sign as it means it's not too deep yet. Also, you can get an alternating pressure pad for your chair as well. Lastly, I am not familiar with your illness but if you can speak you can train a voice recognition program. Sky has one. I have had them but never played with them. This is a program that will type what you say so you can be online as much as you want and not get tired fingers. Please let us know how you are. Take care.
