Jason,

One very important thing to watch out for are pressure sores from sitting.
You must have pressure relief about every 20 minutes to keep circulation
going in compressed tissue to avoid these sores. If you are interested there
is a cushion on the market that will give you excellent pressure relief
automatically by inflating and deflating by itself. Its called the airpulse
PK and its sold by Aquila Corp. The website is www.aquilacorp.com They aslo
have a manually inflated cushion.
