Judy, I'm not in a chair 24/7 but I'm sitting on the couch most of the time. I can transfer pretty easily, so No pressure sores. But, have I told you about my Diaper rash/yeast/whatever infection from hell?

When you are in your chair, are you able to stand up and stretch a bit or if not can you do that squeezy exercise (flexing your butt & leg muscles?

When I'm on the couch/on the PC/reading/watching TV, I try to keep it all moving = put legs up and down, stretch, wiggle toes, squeezy butt and stand up, if able.

Also, if the above is pretty impossible for you, there are special cushions for your wheel chair to help ward off pressure sores.

Let us know what you, with your Doc, decide to do and if it helps you.
