    Ask the person who's taping you, they should know.

    The physio should have told you this piece of vital information. Give the physio department a call. Out of interest I wonder when your next appointment is.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    When is your next appt? It was suggested to me to keep it on as long as possible. However, I had weird skin that refuses to allow tape to remain on it for very long. It can get a bit itchy too.

    I have always been told to leave it on as long as possible. I sometimes use an old tight sock and leave it over the tape, add a plastic bag over that and tape it around your calf for showering or bathing. Some tapes last longer than others and act as a second skin (kinesio tape) so you really want it on for as long as possible.
