If you can try to have a second pair of shoes & insoles to switch off.

She went to the Good Feet Store (don't know if there's one in Reno) and bought an arch support system like nurses use. (Apparently it's not cheap.) <br /><br />When we worked the conveyor belt in receiving, we were sure to do all the exercises in the morning and after lunch. Plus, when there was a break in the action when receiving couldnt keep us stocked with product, we would strecth as much as possible. We worked the receiving line right after products came in off the trucks. You can read about it in our blogs from last year. It's definitely difficult work.<br /><br />SusanTravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425477070341041039.post-67588850991325724912012-10-31T09:58:52.916-07:002012-10-31T09:58:52.916-07:00We did that exact same job last year in Coffeyvill...We did that exact same job last year in Coffeyville. It did get better, but standing for 10 hours is hard no matter what. After Thanksgiving we were moved to the singles area where you don't move at all, just pack single item boxes the entire shift. That was really hard on my wrists, making and sealing all of those boxes. This year we chose pickers. It's a lot of walking, but my back hurt much more with the standing. We drove home to Wisconsin last year for Christmas. We left the 5th wheel at the campground in Coffeyville. They let us keep it plugged in, but still winterized just in case the propane ran out. We left the furnace set at about 60 degrees and left the refrigerator on electric. It worked well for us. We plan on doing the same again this year. Good luck at Amazon. The bank balance when you're done helps a great deal in forgetting the pain!RV Khronicles of Kevelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612195786405870520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425477070341041039.post-32426133468138514072012-10-30T18:20:24.008-07:002012-10-30T18:20:24.008-07:00Ooooo, my feet hurt FOR you!
