The alternating

We got Burt an alternating air pressure mattress.

The pump emits a soft murmur. The green light tells me it’s working.

[Amazon carries everything, and Medicare waits until pressure wounds are a dire concern before providing this remedy.]

He was lifted (as usual, these days kicking and screaming) into his wheelchair so his aide and his OT could set up the bed. I sat with him in the living room while they worked.

The mattress, along with creams and a full body pillow, will help us in the fight to keep his skin healthy.

I am grateful that the worst of his bedsores is responding to the TRIAD cream his MD. advised we use.
