Eh besides being more tan then me that’s how my scrawny leg looks too. It’s weird it’s tubular from hip to ankle basically cause calf didn’t get any smaller but I still don’t have any activation in my medial quad head or at least it’s not controllable every once in a while it fire randomly. I try never to look at my legs anymore I just close my eyes and hope I get the proper pant leg on in the morning. Glad to hear recovery is going good for you though and smart move sticking on cruiseView attachment 92582 Muscle atrophy is real.
lol, this made me laugh a bitI just close my eyes and hope I get the proper pant leg on in the morning

That was 3 weeks post surgery and 4 weeks post accident. Keep in mind I’ve lost inches off my right leg too.Dude, that's insane. How many weeks post injury is this?
lol, this made me laugh a bit
It gets better, I swear it. I want to say around the 12 month mark was when I could finally put a sock on my right side without having to sit down. I almosr cried when that day came. You'll get there!!
Glad to hear it man it’s nice to know your healing up good, it’s crazy how little things like getting in and out the shower (I have a tub shower) is a dance with death and possibly falling and reinjuying I installed a shower rail hate it so much lol.Luckily I’ve been putting socks on good. Showering a lot easier. I get around really well considering I’m just a month post surgery. Hell I even 315 on bench the other day for a few easy triples. I don’t want to say it hasn’t been bad but I definitely thought it would have been a lot worse.

My shower process to this day. Turn the water let it heat up through the lines. Turn it back off get in the shower with my brace ( I have a tub shower as well) wherever my brace comes off is where I stay in that exact position. Then I have to dry off in the shower and brace back then get out. It’s that kind of stuff that makes this stuff a pain in the ass
You brave soul having picture evidence of the smaller leg. Also very odd might be coincidence but at the 4 week mark I was 23” right leg and 19” left leg so also 4” in a month for me. My calf didnt atrophy at all though they both remained 15.5” maybe right is slightly larger but always had been by about 0.25”. Don’t know if you’ve looked into it but there is evidence of muscle sparing effects using a BFR for 10mins 3-4x a day on the injured leg, just holding the addition blood volume for that bit of time helps it become more nutritiant rich. My surgeon suggested it to me and just evenly space it throughout the day, don’t have to do anything just sit or lay down and let it fill with blood to help the healing then take off.Ok so tomorrow is my one month post surgery visit with the surgeon. I should have a decent amount of new “privileges” after tomorrow so I wanted to take the time to make a starting point of my recovery as far as weight measurements and other general things.
-Limitations as of now. Leg is completely immobilized while standing or walking
-when seated I can let my leg bend up to 30 degrees.
-cannot use my quad muscle to straighten my leg but can use my hamstring to bend.
-I haven’t really tested much strength. I hit 315 today for a set of 5 touch and go.
