Personal Experience with Pressure Sores. My name is Rex Taylor and I am the inventor of the patented EASE Seating System. When I was 12, I suffered 2 nd and 3 rd degree burns over 85% of my body. I had burned my entire right side and leg from the shoulders down, and had less severe burns on the left side. In 1944, burns to such a degree as mine were considered fatal, and the doctors told my parents that I would probably die. About three months later, the doctors realized that the kid might live after all. Expecting me to die, no one thought to move me. I had been lying on my back for three months and had a huge Stage 4 pressure sore in my coccyx area. To deal with the pressure sore, they placed me on my left side, and soon I had another Stage 4 sore on my left hip! I have included some not very pretty pictures of my left hip and coccyx area. Graphic evidence of what LACK of MOVEMENT CAN DO to SOFT TISSUE! My coccyx area was grafted over and the hip sore healed normally, but I still have the crater in my hip that has not filled in after 63 years. Though I spent 4 years in a wheelchair, I did recover a productive life, working primarily in the aviation industry.
