My leg is withering.  Like, seriously.  Right before my eyes.  4 days ago I had a semi-normal (if not slightly swollen) lower leg, and all of a sudden I have a lower leg the size of my 14 year sister's, who is seriously one of the skinniest people I know.  It's extremely disproportional to my other leg, or even the thigh of my broken leg.  It's like a toothpick sticking out of a tree trunk.  My one true talent in life (leg wrestling) is apparently now a dream of the past.  I start PT tomorrow, and I'm only supposed to put 25% of my weight on my leg.  At first I was really confused about how I would know when I was at 25%...now I don't even need to worry about it, because this little baby-sized leg of mine can't hold more than 15 pounds, which is clearly not more than 25% of my body weight.  I can literally feel the break in my tibia with my fingers.

  1. Yikes. That is pretty yucky. Sorry you are going through this. I know how sucky broken bones are! You are one tough cookie! Good luck with PT. Don't let them make you scream!
