I recently injured my foot doing something really stupid. It seems to have the least amount of pain if I can keep the arch taped up. Good old athletic tape doesn't have what it takes to survive in the swimming pool. Does anyone have any ideas of another kind of tape that I could use? I thought about duct tape, but I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to get the sticky residue off of my foot.
You have to tell us what the "something really stupid" was. Depending on the triggering mechanism, you might want something that leaves really sticky residue, or perhaps even permanent residue, as a cautionary reminder to avoid doing this "something really stupid" again in the future.
On the other hand, it is quite possible that you are being too hard on yourself, and this "something really stupid" you have done was not really all that stupid at all, in fact, it might have been completely intelligent. In that case, you might want to cover your (wound? scab? abrasion? buboe? lesion? burn? skin-piercing bone fragment? or whatever) with some kind of tape specially designed to be written upon by well-wishers wielding Sharpies and eager to scribble soothing platitudes on your foot.
So. What exactly did you do?
