the leg revealed
No pics, fortunately.
As anticipated greatly, I took the immobilizer off for a little while. I washed my leg, yay! So it is clean, pale except for the purple and yellow bruises on the shin and outside knee. Nothing noticeable on the inside knee. The knee is swollen though not hugely, and very stiff. I didn't manage a full bend, just a gentle inch or so. I will try again tomorrow.
My calf is slack and flabby, which is kind of depressing after only 2 weeks. Maybe I can figure out what sort of foot-wiggling exercise can strengthen my calf. The thigh seems to be normal.
I adjusted the immobilizer front panel so that I can snug up the upper part. Maybe that will keep it from sliding down all the time.
