Many years ago I started using a video tape at home that was made by PT's from a local hospital out here. It was an amazing workout. I found some similar on youtube for you.

You might also consider resistance bands. Make sure that you get a set with several bands to that you can work your way up. I think mine had 7. You can do rows, flys, pulldowns...even chest presses. All you need is somewhere secure to attach them to. Mine came with a door anchor that works great. You would also I think have to make sure that you chair won't move.
There are many youtube videos...here is an example...
