I have made an 85-90 percent recovery. I walk normally and wear normal foot wear. It took almost 16 months to fully recover though. My suspicion is that when the tumour is removed and swelling goes down you will have both return of feeling and motor function. It may take a bit of time to regain full function though as the body heals slower the older we are. But the body has an amazing way of healing itself given the right circumstances. I really wish you the best of luck.
