So, i'm seeing definite muscle loss with left leg since it's in the cast. There has got to be a better way about this then just not using it at all and going to physical therapy afterward to make sure you build muscle back correctly. What I was thinking, get one of those electric pulse things, like the informercial belt you wear to strengthen abs. Send pulses to the affected muscles so that they flex and they won't deteriorate, at least not as bad/fast. And for muscles covered in the cast, like my calf-muscle, have something that slides into the cast that gives the shock. I'm going to mention this idea to my doctor today.
