I know the feeling.
I broke the tib & fib in my lower leg last Oct. (see avatar X ray of my titanium rod)
Last Thursday I took my first few painful steps, wearing only my boot. Friday I needed to use the crutches to help because the tendons were so sore. Talk about atrophy!
I'm not even sure if I'll be able to do minimal riding, since I had the rod driven through my already bad knee.
And here I am, building new wheels for my 2 bikes that may get minimal riding in the future. I have to be able to ride one, just to get groceries. The Hybrid is for fun. I'm hoping maybe by summer? to actually log some miles for fun. BTW, I turned 65 on Monday-
