I hate to say this, but people with "foot drop" say things like what you are saying. You might want to get seen in person by doctor just to rule out the serious stuff.
Yep, that is correct. If I were asked to walk like that I couldn't do it because I wouldn't be able to get my left toes up in the air. Even sitting in a chair I can't lift my toes off the ground.

I'll go get it checked out this week though and hopefully it's something as "simple" as a pinched nerve. I've been meaning to find a chiropractor anyway because I do tend to get some unexplained numbness in places so I guess this is a good excuse to go see the doc

Thanks Lisa.
