Quad wasting.

Ok. So firstly I must admit that, other than a few token leg presses on a low weight I haven't really done any gym leg-work for about 12 months (mainly due to the knees feeling it) so that might be part of it. But I was ill over the Christmas period with a really bad 'flu like cold and virus' so I couldn't run (or do any other exercise) for 6 weeks.
Anyway, I've noticed that my quads seem really small all of a sudden. I was actually quite shocked. Has anyone else had any muscle wasting in such a short period of time? Surely this shouldn't happen after just 6 weeks of inactivity?

I know the much used phrase 'use it or lose it', but I didn't really know how quickly it can happen. Hopefully I can get back to the gym soon for some knee friendly leg muscle building (if possible).
