4 sets 10 reps squats, 4 sets 10 leg press, 4 sets 10 dead lift, 6 sets calf raises to failure should do the trick for the first month, when you have finished this work out if you have access to a lying squat or leg press machine try doing as many reps as you can for 1 minute rest for 1 minute then repeat again until you have done it a total of 3 times, and don't forget no crazy weights for the first couple of sessions unless you dont mind being bed-ridden for a few days,  

Give it a go and let me know when you get the wheelchair delivered

try different ways without any weight first to see which is the most comfortable on the smith machine.
I prefer the smith machine if i am training on my own,  going with the angle away from my body with the slider nearer my feet.
Hope this helps, as everyone has different ways to do it its best to try and find the  comfortable  position for you

A different approach.

Calves
1 set standing calf raises, minimum 25 reps to failure. So use a weight that stops you at around the 25 to 30 range, and then FORCE some more out until you cannot even twitch them
1 set max weight for 6 - 10 reps, drop the weight by around 25% and do as many as you can, then drop it again by a furtherv 25 % and go to absolute failure.
That two sets only for calves.
Next,
Leg Bicep
1 x leg curls, 25 to 30 reps to failure with assisted reps to finish.
1 x triple drop, as you did for calves.

Leg Extensions
Same again, 1 x 25 -30 reps tpo failure with assisted reps
1 x triple drop set.

Leg Press.
1 x 25 - 30 reps to failure

1 x triple drop set.

Not much, 8 sets total, but you MUST go to failure on very drop, on every set.

It is VERY intense but it works, providing you can go throug the pain and just KEEP going to the point of REAL failure.
