    How about a king size pillow sham to put the cushions together? Don't know if it would be long enough! Great videos!! Not boring at all!! 😘

    Your content never fails to inspire and give me hope. I’m going through a medical challenge right now, and I’m severely limited as to what I can do, and unsure of the outcome. Thank you for making content and sharing your lived experiences. I truly mean that.

    You can use Velcro to attach your two new cushions together 😉 It's always frustrating to have high hopes for answers from a new doctor only to be let down. You handle that in a very positive attitude. I would imagine getting up and moving around some would be helpful in creating blood flow needed to heal. It's great to see you enjoying your new found freedom in such beautiful places.

    Maybe you could put Velcro strips on the cushions to double the thickness. They’d probably stick together well enough for your bench but then you could use each separately.

    We used a lot of different wound care products but one was the wound vac which helps keep a wound clean and open, we used medical tape, gauze, and the main goal really was to keep the wound clean and see if there was any progress. After a couple of months we knew surgical intervention was neccessary which is the case 75-80% of the time with stage 3-4 pressure wounds on spinal cord injury patients. We had to travel to many different doctors till we found one willing to do the surgery though! Hope that answer’s your question 🫶🏼

    You are so right woth life not being guaranteed, but thankfully because of Jesus we can have eternal life guaranteed. If you put your trust in Jesus, you can have confidence then when this life on earth is over, you will go to heaven to live be woth God, our creator. No one knows when their last day us, that's why the day of salvation is now. It's today. To be reconciled to God. Christianity isn't about religion, its about beleiveing then though we were sinners, Jesus died for us and took the punishment of our sin. Now God can look at us as being righteous because of Jesus' atonement. I pray that you consider this gospel message, and let God work on your hearts. Thanks for these videos! They are super fun to watch and encouraging. I love your outlook on life.

    PA’s are way less qualified and are not doctors. You should definitely push to see the actual MD.
