I understand you have a hectic schedule, but if you do not find time to care for you, who will? Your health is vital. Please find a way to fit in the soakings as prescribed by the doctor. I am sorry you are going through this. I do understanbd the financial side, I have been there. It does not seem fair, I know. Please, for the sake of your health, take a few moments in your day to soak the area. Things could turn badly as your doctor told you, then you would not be working or going to school.
