bone and cannot move even on the bed, what is the best? thing that can be done to prevent bedsores and general sweating of the clothes on his back and provide general well-being (under the circumstances)?Any help and advice would be really welcome as my father has just fractured his hip bone yesterday morning and had to be carried by stretcher for an xray and back again as the hospital couldnt admit him immediately. He now goes into hospital after 4 days (cos of the hols), but in the meantime he is bedridden and connot move his position *at all*. I change his clothes and assist him with the basics and necessities that he has to do, but its difficult to do things like change the bedsheets, eating in an almost lying down position... I just wish I could do more to make him comfortable. He has a TV.
