My therapist and I agreed to start IFS (Internal family systems) therapy next week. We're going to somewhat learn together as he's had some training but has never used it. So we'll have an adventure but I think it will work well. He has brought it up before and then we didn't do it (about a year ago) and he said he just wasn't as comfortable then. So that will be different at least. I think I've learned most of what I'm going to learn without a crisis from the things we've done before. Being fairly stable I can take a risk at trying something new.

After therapy I did a few errands and then went to PT. I want to be able to go to the state fair tomorrow so I had them tape my foot. I don't know how much it will help but it's worth a shot. Years ago I had my foot taped when I had the same condition (plantar fascitis) and it really helped. This is kinesiotaping though and that was athletic taping so it's different. It will help me know if I need them to tape it before my vacation in a couple weeks.

It was a long day and I'm hoping I'll get to sleep fairly soon so I can comfortably wake up early to go to the fair. I hope that the fair isn't a huge mistake for my foot. I can't stop my entire life for this. It's been hurting for months and if I'd stopped everything because of it I'd be so stressed and lonely.

hugs to anyone who needs one
