Anybody have thumb surgery?

So, broke my thumb last week and tore a ligament pretty badly. Will need surgery after I complete my x-country move next week.
I'm at a loss as to what kind of exercise besides walking I can do before surgery and during recovery. I'm already limited due to bad knees to swimming,rowing or limited walking. I need to start strength training,too. Now no swimming or rowing. Argh!
