For somebody who is not in a wheelchair, I sit down at LOT. Probably the equivalent of someone with a full-time desk job. The trouble is, I also sleep in a recliner. I have for almost a year, I think. It's the only way I can sleep that I don't have pain and/or muscle spasms. I'm tilted at the right angle and it "holds" me in the right position.

Ah, there's the rub. (Literally, probably.) I just read that people who spend a lot of time in recliners are more apt to get pressure ulcers. No, no, no, I don't want that. Yes, I KNOW you're supposed to change positions every hour or two. Obviously I don't.

So what do I do to prevent pressure sores? And what can I do if I DO start to get one?
