She now has her Balder wheelchair back with extra padding on the foot plates and realigned to support her legs more in order to avoid future pressure sores. Her right knee is causing her severe intermittant pain so hopefully physio will sort that out. Her skin infection on her back has spread to her chest but the doctor wants to continue with treating with special body wash. Says it will take a long time to get better. The good news is that it isn't really irritating her. Her pressure sore on her right heel is still there but not got any worse. She now has bigger boots and she wears gel lined socks all the time. Hopefully in time it will go. She had pain in both her feet this weekend but it seems to have gone now and thankfully she is able to stand transfer again.
Our main concern is the seizures - she is now on 200mg a day Topiramate for them. We will wait to see if that makes a difference.
She loves her new hair style and is still smiling

I hope all the adjustments make a difference to her comfort. Can you tell me the make of the socks?
