Anything that has low impact on the feet will be ok. Swimming would be good. Yoga. Maybe even some elliptical work. I can't swim and I didn't have access to an elliptical so I pretty much stopped exercise besides yoga until my foot was better. It's still not 100% but I can go 2-3 days wearing shoes, other than my minimus, without pain.
The best things I had for my foot was a frozen water or soda bottle, coke bottles were good because of the dip in the middle. I would put my foot on it after I stretched and rolled it back and forth. And the other was a tennis ball, I'd lay a towel down on the floor (hardwoods) and roll my foot over the ball.
Also make sure you keep your shoes on as long as possible during the day. Also stretch before getting out of bed and before getting off the couch if you've been sitting for a while.
Oh I also have some of the yoga stretch bands. I use those to help pull my toes up when I stretched.

Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it.

I want to walk my dogs, do C25K, and all that jazz and I can't. It is good motivation to get well, esp. in Feb. Crappy and cold out anyway.
