(Just a reminder for those who may not know or have forgotten ---> Most people can raise their foot to a +10 to +20 degrees. My left foot can raise to a +20, so I'm sure that is what my right foot was before I had the PAO surgery in March. I have a long way to go yet - (another 30-40 degrees)).

Back to Land Physical Therapy
A week and a half ago, ATI Physical Therapy measured my foot again and it measured at -30 degrees. When I first started at ATI in June, they measured me at -39 degrees, and just before I started Aquatic Therapy (beginning of August) I was measuring at -15 degrees. I definitely could see that the Aquatic Therapy was not helping my foot at all. All of last week and from here on out I have completely transferred back to land PT (3 days/week). By last week Friday I was already showing improvement and was measured at -25 degrees. And today I was measured at -21 degrees. I am so happy that my foot is starting to go in the right direction again! It made me so nervous when my progress got worse! I just wish this process was a lot faster! I miss being able to walk normal, without constantly tripping over my foot. I also can't run after my children as I would probably fall flat on my face. I really hope that my Drop Foot would just go away - I just keep praying that it will soon!
