Training when injured

So, I've got a grade 3 dislocation of my ac joint (clavicle) because of my first road bike fall (memo to self - slow down more for fording rivers). And I've been advised to avoid "sporty" things for 6 weeks.
I don't want to lose much fitness, any thoughts on the forum?
Legs are fine so I was considering borrowing a turbo and using it in the garden (since it's summer).

    I'm glad I've only got a grade 3, no surgery but just time to heal.
    I was supposed to be riding the Iron Mountain Sportive today :(
    Must find something else to train for.

    P.S. Good luck with the surgery.

    Unlucky about missing the sportive

    Hopefully if you keep it going on the turbo you shouldn't lose too much fitness over the next few weeks
