"I had skin shear from my sliding board back-to-back-to-back – coupled with my current cushions inability to protect my fragile skin upon healing - keeping me in bed for most of ten months…prior to going to bed, I tried EVERYTHING to stay in my chair and heal with the help of my trusty low-profile Roho cushion – that had kept me sore-free for 15 years – I raised a footrest to ease the pressure on my right ischial, I had a bracket made to hold my leg out straight and up to alleviate pressure, I used these AND spent all my time in a reclined position, and ended up with terrible sweats/uncontrollable spasms/misery/bed. I had researched such air-fluctuation-cushions before, and had spoken with their creators…I simply could not afford their cushions. I learned of Ease Cushion from the UAB resource website ( http://www.spinalcord.uab.edu/ ) and saw that it was over $1,000.00 less than its lowest price competitor...and yet I, honestly, feared it too good to be true. I was desperate, though, and scrounged up the money…I received the cushion, took a week to put it on my chair – terrified it would not work, but more so that it would make it worse. I got on the cushion for 14 – 16 hours a day, my sore was a grade 2…in three days, my sore had healed over...I haven't since spent a day in bed. In my case...my Ease Cushion got me my life back…literally… --Scott Darnell |
