Exercise suggestions while recovering from surgery

I have surgery on my foot, a tendon transfer, still having difficulty walking so I'm limited as far as exercise is concerned. I'd like suggestions on different types of exercise that doesn't use your feet (swimming is not an option).
Thanks for any suggestions!

I was non weight bearing for 3+ months this summer after breaking and tearing everything in my ankle so I feel your pain.
About 2-3 weeks after surgery I started doing chair exercise videos from youtube, didn't get a great workout but I was moving at least.
When I was about a month out from surgery I started going back to the gym and did weight training on my upper body only and found that I was able to do quite a bit that way and I think it helped my recovery a lot.0 -
Thanks for the suggestions I'll certainly try them out!0
