Tape is the new crack

[cjsmith]

Physical therapist taped the hell out of my feet again Wednesday morning, and that felt so darn good I kept it on until last night. At that point, the toes that should have been numb after my neuroma treatments were actually slightly numb. Whoooooaaa.

There seems to be a tradeoff between pain from the tightness of the tape and pain from walking when the tape isn't tight enough. Often I'll take scissors to the edge of the tape where it's cutting deeply into my skin, and with a small snip I can release the worst of the pressure but keep most of the stability. How I feel with the tape on gives me the first ray of hope I've had in a long time.

(That stuff takes a while to dry after a shower!)

I wonder if you can get arrested and thrown into rehab for a sports tape addiction. Taaaaape, taaaaaaaaape, must have more taaaaaaaaaaaape...

You know, this journal was odd enough to read when it was all foot porn. Not it's foot bondage porn. ;)

In other news, don't believe the tape, man. You're better than that. :)

Foot bondage porn! If I had a digital camera I'd post a picture just for that. :-)

Haha, it's just as well. I have no interest in foot bondage, so we can kid about it for days. But if I knew you had a digital camera, I'm sure eventually I'd say something (innocently, no doubt!) that made you wonder if I just might not be kidding. :)

But kidding (and talking too much) aside, that would be seriously funny. :)
