Post-accident-and-surgery recovery and training

Hi all, I had an accident in mid-December that led me to have a 4-hour op to pin my cheekbones and eye orbit together. A nice bicoronal flap needed and all - well done the NHS and Maxillofacial dept at New Cross in Wolverhampton, terrific work.
I get my 45-or-so stitches out tomorrow - I hope - and of course have managed to get down to 10st2lb in the process (I'm only 5ft9). Now, what's the path from here on? I can't do real cycling for a few weeks in case of more spills so how to keep my fitness up and weight off?
Any good tips?
Thanks!

Turbo trainer!
That's how I did my rehab...0 -
OK, cheers, but specifically what? I'm just about to buy a new bike and so can't spend big money on a turbo trainer too...0

My rehab was a little more complicated as it was my leg, so I just literally got on and spun the pedals for a couple of minutes the first few times...0
