I have hope

So, my symptoms are improving. This is awesome. The one test that shows my symptoms clearly is just to do a solo calf raise with my left leg. A month ago, when my therapist asked me to do this, my foot wouldn't move. It just stayed on the ground. No pain, just wouldn't move. 1 1/2 weeks ago, she had me do it again and it like barely moved. Maybe like 1/2 an inch off the ground. So, I did it a couple days ago and I can go up like 3-4 inches! Yahoo! It's still a pretty shaky raise, but this means good things. I go back next Monday and we'll see what she says.
