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.

Dude, physical therapy types go to school and learn tons about anatomy and physiology in order to tape your feet. Not hard at all... with years of training behind you.

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.

Oh, absolutely I plan to ask. Next time I'm in is Tuesday morning.
