Fun Fact: Leg Measurements

After my surgery, I was completely non weight bearing for six weeks. After a while, in addition to feeling like my left leg was made of warm liquid goo, it also started looking noticeably smaller. Well on Friday, two days after I started putting weight on my leg, I grabbed a tape measure and checked if there was a measurable difference. There was! On my right leg--the one I did not have surgery on--my calf measured 14" (of steel). But my left calf only measured 12.75"! Isn't that nuts! I lost 10% of the circumference of my calf in just six weeks. Now that's the *wrong* way to loose inches.
