Bad Drop Foot, Frame off for 3 weeks, need advice

Edit Post

I was thinking something like this while I slept would help the process. Ideas?

Remember you have been like 1 year in frames and the body has gotten used having your ankles "frozen".
Now it will take atleast the same time to re-program you body to move it like it did before.
When I say re-program, i dont mean just laying in bed and going to work, you need to hit the gym/PT. Do 2 months intensive PT then guided PT where you do excercises in gym or home.

I have to warn you, although the human body is amazing at recovery, if you slack on your recovery program the body may permanently forget how it was before (see Swedens case)

Well please, if anyone has the right recovery program, let me know.

My current physiotherapy consists of using high wave and low wave electro pads, sort of like TENS, for 30 minutes a day, for 10 days. I am not really sure this is the right approach to physio, I think Azerbaijan doctors are questionable at best

As far as physio, I'm using super low profile shoes like Vibrams, or even sandals, everywhere I walk. I'm exercising the ladder type exerciser mounted on the wall to do flexing with my tip toes. Or I'm using stretch bands.

Please, I am very open to ideas.

I did femurs so I cant really help here. Sorry.

Probably not what you want to hear but it seems to me that patience and persistence is the key. 

Also, trying to evaluate yourself on a daily basis is imprudent because the data set is too small and too similar to the prior data.  Week-by-week and month-by-month.

I am told and I have seen that when I focus on good form, strength and flexibility follows.  So, I push myself every day and see regular and ongoing improvement.

I think very few people appreciate how long it takes to fully recover--but you likely will fully recover if you keep working at it.
