That’s great news Chris.

Pressure sores can sneak up on people and they’re not aware of the seriousness until, well until the sores become serious.

I did some looking around and there are many different kinds of pads and mattresses that move within the pad, inflate and deflate, lower and rise automatically throughout the day.

Movement and shifting positions are the key.

I think or at least hope Medicare can cover the cost. I’m not quite there yet myself so I haven’t any experience with Medicare.

I’d post links but there are just so many, and then it requires your budget and Dad’s needs.

You all are always in my prayers.

It’s possible that the Vetrans Administration may cover some devices for prevention of worsening of the condition and comfort from pain.

It seems you have some good information they may be able to use.
