ok, just as my legs were starting to strengthen again and look a little less like matchsticks i have to have another op to remove some of the metal work. I initially thought, piece of cake, will just have to wait for the stitches to heal. no problem. then i thought again and realised that there will be holes in my bones where they take all the screws out. soooo... i have to go easy on them for at least a month (lucky my bones heal fast).
can anyone think of any exercises (other than granny leg lifts) that i can do to stop the tiny bit of muscle i've built from disappearing again....? (and did you know it takes less than 48hrs of muscle inactivity for it to start breaking down? that is rubbish on the body's behalf!!!)
