My first bed sore was when I was in intensive care following surgery.
I didn't know anything about bed sores so I requested that the nurse
not turn me at that moment well that moment turned into 2 days and I
got a bed sore that took 9 months to get rid of.  It was 20 years
before I got another one and that was again because I was following a
doctor's orders that didn't know what the hell she was talking about.
My wife called to say that things didn't look right to her but the
doctor said that is the way it is supposed to look.  That sore
required 1.5 years to correct and to surgeries to get me back to where
I could get back to work full-time.  Believe me I really learned a lot
from that experience.  Now whenever I have to go into the hospital I
have my wife check to see how my skin is doing.  We try to leave
nothing to chance.
Frank.
