It looks like I'm going to have surgery to repair a ligament in my ankle. Unfortunately, the doctor told me this is going to involve 6 weeks in a cast up to my knee to limit the mobility in my ankle, so that I don't do any damage to the ligament. Any suggestions for how I might be able to still exercise. When I broke my 5th metatarcel (foot), I did a modified pilates routine. I currently do between and hour and an hour and twenty minutes of cardio with some light weight lifting. I just don't think I can go to doing absolutely nothing. I have also suffered from anorexia, which is why I have prolonged this surgery for so long. The thought of not being able to exercise makes me very anxious and also makes me feel like I could head back down a road I don't want to be on.
