Dear Jheri:
A 93 y.o. woman, post hip surgery, with a tracheotomy, respiratory assistance, and growing decubitus ulcer is not a great combination. Cleaning and non-weight bearing rotation are best for bed sores, but who is going to do it with the attention it requires?

My prayers are with you, Dr.H.
