Week Seven

I am feeling better in the morning. While it still have some pain upon getting out of bed, it is milder. On a scale of 1 to 10, it had been an 8 and now it is a 6. I have been using the athletic tape every morning and remove it at night before bed. The tape gives me a lot of support throughout the day. I've been stretching my calves three times a day, and I've noticed that in the morning, it relieves some of the pain immediately.

I received the gel heel inserts that I ordered. I have been wearing them in the evening inside of a pair of casual shoes. I always wear my athletic shoes during the day. The other item I ordered is not what I thought it would be, but it might help anyway. Its a slip on support for the heel with a gel insert. The insert can be frozen to ice the heel. I will try it tonight rather than using an ice pack. I need to give it some time before I can see if these devices are helping.

I continue to limit the amount of time I spend on my feet, but it's difficult. There is so much to do, but I can't.
