Las Vegas hug? You sure there aren't any other reasons you want to go
Yesterday, I was doing my daughter-in-law's hair and would be standing on my feet, in one position for a couple of hours. I knew I'd suffer through it and pay the price. Julius suggested I wear my brace. What a difference. Almost no pain, no down time today (except my shoulders). I suggest the same to you. I know you don't want to depend on it but you'll be putting in some long days. If it gives you a little comfort - so be it. Just a suggestion.
Have fun, just not too much!
