David,

i'm c5. To lose weight you shoulld eat a low fat
diet. I eat oatmeal or malt-o-meal every morning with
an orange. Fruit juice or milk can give u uti. So I
drink Tang. For sores, it helps to eat a good diet and
lose weight (so there is lesss weight and better
cerculation. Otherwise, it helps to take pressure
reliefs. I use an electric chair with a reclining
back...lean back once per hour for 1 minute and i dont
get sores. do anything to get the pressure off. even
leaning way forward helps.
