... said my LEFT, injured leg to my right, STRONGER leg.
I--not my Physical Therapist--not my Personal Trainer--developed a new exercise to strengthen my LEFT leg.
DAILY, while lying on my back in bed, I lift my STRONGER right let off my bed and HOLD IT--motionless--in the air. (Usually, THIS TACTIC is done/conducted while my "care-giver" changes my socks in the morning.) My WEAKER, INJURED left leg will then DUPLICATE the feat: lifting the leg to the SAME HEIGHT with the SAME MINIMAL SHAKING.
I've been doing THIS EXERCISE for only LESS THAN A WEEK. But, ALREADY I've noticed a strength/endurance-improvement.
... YAY!
