Achilles surgery and no riding/walking for 2 months what do you do?

I have not been riding much in the last year due to some achilles and
heel pain so now I just had achilles tendon surgery due to a heel
deformity and a bone spur growing off the top of my heel up into the
achilles. According to the Dr. they detached the tendon ground down the
bone cut and lengthened the achilles and reattached the tendon and Doc
says zero weight for 8 weeks.
I am looking forward to riding again without the painful side effects
but what do you do in the meantime besides look forward to recovery...I

Practice your balance on one foot w/ one or both eyes closed, on balance
boards and/or a squishy ball.

In your condition sudden jumps off may cause more damage, so I'd do
stuff high failure but low consequence, like a wall or something to
grab onto if neccessary.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

I have snapped an Achille's tendon some time ago .. it took me two years
to get things back to normal: the big problem is that the other foot
might consider it's up to it to counterbalance. So my other tendon
started to hurt and I had to train hard to balance efforts on my feet.
4 doctors later one discoverd I had some bones in my foot that were
stuck together .... (but this is a genetic defect not related to my
achille's accident). So be more aware of your body...

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

1. Edit all those photos and videos that are cluttering up your computer
(I'm guessing)
2. Write a book
3. Waste tons of time here and in Just Conversation
4. Loan out your lonely unicycles

May your recovery be swift and complication-free! Be good, the best way
to heal fast is to not rush it.

Learn to Juggle? Sit in a window and smile at old people as they walk
past, makes them feel so much better!

I kind of hope for your sake that it's already a bit better by now...
But if not, hope it is soon.

It is a tad better now, but i will wait till i have had xray and

Swelling has reduced heaps, but pain comes and goes.
