Sorry to hear about the outcome on your leg, I am sure you've tried lots of things to beef up your muscle. Just looking at my two legs I can still see a slight difference in calf thickness.

One thing I didn't appreciate is that in a break the bone is the easy part, but getting the muscle back or preserving it is the hard part.

For sure! Not to mention all the tendons and nerves. My recovery continues, as I’m sure yours does too — I’m back to my pre-injury PRs for most weight lifting, and my goal for this year is to match my pre-injury mile time.

All things considered I’m still pretty lucky. This could have happened when I’m much older and been debilitating for life.
