I sent a PM not realizing you had posted. I hope you do get the new mattress soon. My mother had terrible bed sores. She received a new mattress that has littlie soft bumps that go softly up and down. It was unbelievable how something like this could prevent further bed sores and in the meantime, the old ones had a chance to heal. I pray God will give you the strength and courage to cope with all you are going through.
