[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

HD->I've been using a roho for 4 1/2yrs and never had a sore.
HD->I've tried the Jays' but they hurt my butt (too bad I can
HD->feel it sometimes)

My daughter uses a Jay, and about two weeks ago had to do the thing she
hates the most, leave the chair for bed.  I always push the jell back in the
middle between transfers, but it just seemed rather flat.

We mentioned this to our PT & chair rep. & he said the cushion had lost alot
of jell. (???)  He asked if we noticed any white dust like material (which
we hadn't).  But, he replaced the cushion with an overfilled version.

On another note.  Recently there has been a thread on water & jell beds.  We
had a nurse tell us that they used jell beds in the local hospital in ICU
for a while, that was untill they started to leak.  Seems that the little
silicon balls where a little too much for the staff to skate across the
floor on.  They left & the air & egg crates came back.
