Wrapping a bunch of sports tape around my foot at the instep turns out to be a little more complicated than I thought. My first attempt doesn't improve anything and causes weird stabs of pain at various spots in the plantar arch when I'm wearing shoes.
How could this be difficult??
Yesterday was Errand Day (2 items at grocery store, 1 item at drugstore, pick up 1 pair shoes). That's my limit on walking in the span of two days, so I'm not doing squat today unless I figure this out.
(Some day I'd like to see one of those smug "I'm so self-sufficient and strong and unbeatable look at MEEEEE" types deal with an uncurable health issue. They never fail no matter what, so naturally they'd quickly find a cure, and I could then copy it.)
OK, left foot (redone) is acting a little better now. Still don't know how this could be hard.

Suggestion: *ask* them to show you how to do it yourself. Promise them that you won't skip your appointments, you just want to be able to take a shower.

Only if I get to rip their self-sufficient fucking "Live Strong" wristbands off and shove them up their respective smug asses.
These are the same people who piss me off at the gym by strutting around and making as much noise as humanly possible so that the rest of us poor schmucks know how hard THEY'RE working out.
But I'm not BITTER or anything...

This could also be a matter not of how the foot is wrapped, but at what tension/pressure. It's possible that you don't [yet] have a strong enough leverage to "tension" the tape properly.

BWAHAHA! Thank you for that much-needed laugh. I don't mind the wristbands so much myself, as I know the money supports research, but the superior attitude I could sure live without.
You going to be over at Joe and Jen's at any point tomorrow? I'm thinking of heading over in the afternoon. Would've today, but rest was more important. I'd enjoy seeing you.

And I REALLY hate the wristbands, because people flaunt them as if nobody had ever asked for $1 for cancer research before.
Betcha if the LGBT community sold rainbow wristbands to fund HIV research, nobody outside the community would buy 'em...
Now maybe if Martina & Billie Jean sold rainbow wristbands ...

I bet you're right, and if there were pink wristbands about breast cancer, you'd never see one on a man. We're a fragmented people, we are. :-/
