Broken Foot

I've just got a broken foot. So far, the swelling is enough so that a cast can't be made yet, and it's completly non-weight baring.
I'm already frustrated and it's my 2nd day off the bike (it happened with someone falling on it!)
Anyway, I'm worried about muscle loss and weight gain.
I don't want to do too much upper body exercises, any idea what legs exercises I can do?
The leg extension machine is to close to my ankle, so it would interfere with the cast.
Cheers

I've had similar a few years ago. I wasn't allowed to pedal at all for 6-8 weeks, and then only lightly until 12 weeks when I was permitted to apply full force.
Sometimes you've just got to suck it up and have the enforced break.
If you were fit before, you'll bounce back quickly.0
