Help with semicolon or comma here

Hi. I have a new account and this one uses a lot of continuations in her sentences. Should I do more commas or semicolons for these? I've re-read the rules but still am not sure.  See below.


1. She reports thinking a lot about dependency, finding her own answers within herself.


(should I use the comma like I have above for these types of sentences?)


2. She is doing that often; say in work situations and other situations she is confirming that she is less passive.


(should I use the semicolon as  I have above?)


I'm really confused about these breaks in sentences that aren't complete sentences.


Thanks.

Subject: plantar flexion

Okay - maybe this is a stupid question, but dorsiflexion is a word - I looked it up in Dorland's (but I have an older version).   But, plantarflexion seems not to be a word;  I thought it was - modeling it after dorsiflexion.  So, is plantarflexion a real word or is it just plantar flexion?
