frankenfoot status update

after 20 months of almost no movement in my left foot I have started to be able to wiggle my toes and I now have limited movement of the foot itself. I had not been able to ride a bike at all at the gym, the motion just wasn't there but for the past two weeks I am riding an hour a day on the bike (with my foot strapped to the pedal). I'm able to reach a comfortable 3mph on the treadmill but nothing like when i could run 11-12mph sprints before. But it is progress; considering I had been told I would never walk again (well my family was told i was going to be a vegetable or dead but when i woke up from the coma they said i would probably never walk again) so me walking again is a big deal. Two weeks ago I quit using my ankle brace after it cut me pretty bad; so I have literally force my foot to work again.
So i give you some motivation from my gym's wall.
