After almost a week and a half ignoring my blister and another half to go before the 5K I have realized that I have to do something. Monday I went out and purchased medical tape to go with the bandages that I already have. I have found a great solution for my blister.
1) wash the blister (taking grandma's great advice here)
2) Put the first bandage directly on it, no air or space
3) place part of a cotton ball
4) Wrap with medical tape (fairly tight)
This has allowed me to run while no re irritating the blister. So far the last 2 nights have been pain free with a lot less swelling. Thought only 20 minutes were running tonight as I was tired and slow outside today. Thank goodness the elliptical was free!
Hopefully it will be gone soon!
About Me
- Purduerose
- My name is Sarah. Welcome to my life. I have a bad memory and will enjoy reading this as time goes on, maybe you will too. I plan to write hair-brained opinions and observations , occasionally bash my husband of 4 years (he deserves it!), bash myself (decidedly less often), and otherwise amuse and embarass myself on the internet. Oh and I’ll kiss up to my husband occasionally just to throw him off. Feel free to comment on anything other then spelling and grammar, as I am beyond hope in those area's (so says My evil brother in law).
