It is always something, and things can change so quickly... I don't even understand how this occurred and happened so quickly (in a span of less than two days) but I am certainly getting a crash course on bed sores. Which is bizarre as I do my best to keep her active within reason and yet, here we are. They are something that has to be taken extremely seriously as they can easily become dangerous and fatal if they fester for those that do not know much of them.

For those that do know of them at least somewhat there is one stage 2 ulcer and one stage 1, and they cannot be allowed to progress any further! An endeavor I am succeeding at thus far but this requires to be able to keep buying the supplies...
I was predicting they would cost about 60 dollars a week to treat, but it has proven to be more like 80. The wound dressings for them, which are basically extremely thick bandages, are crazy expensive and I go through many of them for probably obvious reasons. In addition I need to shift her position at a minimum of every two hours and this includes while she sleeps, so yea that is the final nail in the coffin of my sleep schedule...
Anyways I don't think I need to mention more as prior posts have more details on the overall situation and any help rendered in this dark time of my life would be beyond appreciated.
