A Product of Disability Access: Empowering Tribal Members with Disabilities & Their Families
by Spirit Lake Consulting, Inc.
If you have a pressure sore and do not want it to become worse, try to get off of this area a few times a day for at least a hour or two each time. I have found that this alone can help cut back on the moisture (a major contributor to breakdown). I know that I cannot change the amount of work I need to do each day, but I can change how and when I perform this work. Working part-time is an option for me some days, as is doing some of my work telecommuting from home. In this situation I can work for a few hours, lie down for an hour and then get up and work again. My health is very, very important to me. I understand that I must take control and direction of health issues, because I will be the first person to notice when I am having medical issues – so it is my priority to be knowledgeable and medically alert! |
