Ever since my stroke in 2018, I've had drop foot on my affected (right) side.

Some days it's not too bad, but when I'm tired, I really have to work at picking up my foot.

Fortunately, I've only fallen once, and that was four years ago, but there have been some close calls.

And it seems that no matter how much I exercise, I can't overcome it. Very frustrating!

What are causes?

I have numb feet from the neuropathy due to chemo and claw toes. I carry a cane if I have to work on lumpy ground. I'm 82 , can't drive, live alone on 22 acres and my kids help me out often. Life is fine. I'm actually flying off to visit my old 8th grade boyfriend tomorrow.
