Poor DH, Sparky!
Thanks, Jesse (eta: and Lee). Having that book was a very good thing. I'm wondering if I can find a pool for him to swim in or something tomorrow so he can get some exercise. If we can immobilize his ankle, he could paddle around some and burn off some cabin fever -- which is going to be the toughest part of this for him to deal with, I'm sure.
If anyone has any other ideas for exercise without ankle, I'd love to hear them. We have no gym memberships at the moment, so I can't tie him to a stationary bicycle and let him work one of those with three limbs.

Situps? Crunches? Chinning bar? Pushups from the knee? Dumbells?
Time to build up that upper body! Yay?

Toughest for him to deal with, or for you?

He really needs aerobic type to replace the 2-3 hours of frisbee practice. I have, at times, described having this DH as like having a dog. If I don't get him out of the house and run him around so that he's tired, he'll chew my furniture out of boredom.

It's too bad we don't have the technology to do inter-personal energy transfer, because I could have used some of that get-up-and-go today!

When my ex-GF was growing up in a bodycast she would lie down on a dolly and scoot around by pushing off with her hands. Sort of like lying down on a big skateboard.
