    If you can't use your leg for anything, I imagine something like rowing would be a good workout. If you have insurance you may be able to get Physical Therapy as part of your recovery. I think a PT would have some great advice for working out with limbs removed.
    Good luck, I hope for a speedy recovery!

    Have you tried any swimming? I find that if I put one of those wedge shaped things between my legs that you use to work on your upper body alignment, stroke, and breathing, I take my legs out of it but still get a great core and upper body workout.

    Pistol squats, swimming, but a lot depends on your prosthesis. See an exercise physiologist, but I've seen vets do just about everything post-amputation.
