*I agree Todd---everyone's exercise needs are different. Before getting
hit with this, I had very well developed calves, having been a long time
disance walker. Within a year, my calves had dwindled down to almost
nothing. It took a lot of hard work to get them in shape again, and since I
overcompensated with my left leg, it became a lot more developed. Now, I
have changed my method of walking. Instead of stepping up with the good
leg, and down with the bad, I do it in reverse. My right calf is slowly
starting to build itself up again. They still don't respond anywhere near
to the way that they used to, though. Standing up from a sitting position
is really tough, and often I need assistance. If I fall on the floor (And
thats*
*a fairly regular occurence.), usually I have to phone someone for help, or
sometimes I just stay there and chill, until I hear someone in my hall. I
wear a Life Alert necklace, but will not use it unless I actually hurt
myself. *
