You might have more luck with the HACC/PYP services, or a GP clinic, even if you can reduce the dressing frequency to 2nd daily. It'll probably be Bolton Clarke. They should have the ability for you to pay a fee for service, but they are a private company and can be pricey. Its worth a look though. And it's a shame you're not further out, we'd be happy to look after your butt crack for whatever you could afford!

Might still be worth a call. My workplace (too far out to help you) routinely services people who don't fit traditional funded services with low fees. We don't like to see people not serviced.
I've seen some people try with a mirror!
You should qualify for post acute care, which will supply 3 days of dressing supplies and 7 days of home visits. Following that, you can do a search and find your local HACC/PYP provider in your local government area and call them to see if they can help.
Try to lean on one cheek at a time. Pressure is going to delay your healing.
That is just a baby! Got some healing to do though. Lots of not sitting on your bum, high protein eating and daily dressing for a bit. Have you got help with the dressings?
Yay! Hopefully it heals quickly.
I will admit I was left a bit unenthusiastic about them too.
It's important to recognise how exhausting kids are, especially when they're sick and needing that extra hospital help. We get so caught up with keeping up that we forget it's okay to stop and rest, so enjoy that couch time.
My apologies Miss Meow, but it had to be done!
I haven't been able to get them for ages. Coles have individual small tins that are a little bigger but their supply isn't great either.
Happy Birthday! 🪽
