day 17

Christmas was busy – too busy to get a post or two as I had planned.

But it’s better late than never and without any funny or inspirational stories I had a bit of trouble mustering up something worth posting.

All the bandages are off and my knee looks fantastic – going to be barely any scar tissue and it is healing very quickly.

I’ve managed to drop the crutches for hobbling around my apartment, still need them for the longer excursions around Vancouver.

I took some rather vague measurements today.. my right leg is shrinking!

right leg

calf: 35.5 cm or 14 inches
quad: 49.5 cm or 19.5 inches

left leg

calf: 37.5 cm or 14.8 inches
quad: 55 cm or 21.7 inches
