Peroneal nerve dysfunction

Yep, that would be the latest thing I have managed to acquire in the journey to healing from slipping off of one tiny step.  My foot on the leg I had surgery on has developed a nerve dysfunction and is totally dropped.  This picture shows as far as I can flex it upwards.  On a side note, isn't that a cool tattoo on my good foot.

So I'm currently on a round of steroids and wearing a lovely leg brace and praying that it heals itself and my foot decides to start working again.  Otherwise, I'm looking at a nerve decompression surgery. Truthfully, it's very disheartening as last week I really thought I had turned a corner in pain and healing and then this week, it has been steadily down hill to the point of having  a totally useless foot.  It just plops along like I have had a stroke.  Really, really hope these steroids work!
