hope the quantum 600 helps, i have also experienced the weeping sores and it can be the step before cellulitis, I need some new compression stockings at present but finances are tight so i have been using the ACE bandages but even with the compression stockings or bandages you are correct that getting your legs higher than your heart is the best thing to help- i try to spend some time lying on my bed with the leg portion raised each day and basically if i did this all the time as well as stockings or bandages- there would be no problems but when i cut corners, i pay.
i have to move home in 2 weeks and that means i have been spending more time with my legs down and i can tell, the swelling is getting denser again and i know that fluid oozing comes next then infection so i will be glad when the move is completed. i have a quantum blast and it elevates and reclines but not as much as you describe, something to watch for in my next chair (must admit this quantum blast has been my best so far!)
