Note that I didn't take any medications before going to hospital. I ended up in pain due to incorrect positioning in bed while in hospital which worsened my contractures and twist in hip. I was originally hospitalised due to rotting flesh and psoriasis in my groin area due to legs making me difficult to clean and air. NOT FOR PAIN. Now I've no idea how long I can sit in my electric wheelchair that is presently being repaired and could be without for up to six weeks. Meantime I can sit in a manual wheelchair tilted back for about four hours before too painful. Then confined to bed again. The past four months in bed have not been kind to my body. BLOODY LEGS!!
