It IS amazing how fast muscle tone can take a hike leaving you with legs of jello! But...don't despair!! They can be built up again and you definitely have the right attitude - BRING IT ON!!! Good for you! You'll get there...it will just take a while. Unfortunately my therapist told me it takes much longer to rebuild for every day of immobility. Not a great statistic by any means, but at least you know you CAN get there!
We're with you!!!
