As I stepped awkwardly on piece after piece my feet and ankles were taking a beating as was my balance. At the end of the day I had a quarter-sized blister on the inside of my right heel. Every step I felt it. That day I didn&#8217;t do anything about it. The next day was more of the same. By now each step was painful. By the end of the day I had to do something. So I got a needle out and drained it. The next day started better, but as time went on it again filled up. The human body is great at resealing itself after a puncture. So I had heard about this and never tried it. I sewed a thread through the blister to keep it open. That worked. Each day I change the bandages and the pain is greatly reduced. Now I hope it will dry and callous over.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/?attachment_id=205\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image1-8-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768px\" height=\"1024px\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image1-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image1-8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image1-8-1200x1599.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/image1-8.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thru-hiking takes its toll on you.
