progress

The progress is slow, but it is visible:

When I began PT I couldn't get my ankle to neutral. Now I can flex it to neutral on my own, which means I have gained 10 degrees of motion flexing. Walking is 10 degrees and running is 20*, so I have a ways to go, but I started at -10.

When I began PT my ankle could bend in the pointy-ballerina direction to 30 degrees. Now it goes to 38. Slight improvement.

The big toe on my left foot has also seen some improvement. I can now bend back my big toe as much as I can the right one, but there is still some needed improvement in the scrunching direction.

*This post originally erroneously stated that walking requires 20 degrees of flexing motion. That's wrong. Walking requires 10 degrees, running is 20.
