I am happy for you that things worked out so well. As you were in excellent shape, there were many options for you.
One of my first clients was on crutches just as we were beginning to exercise (I had no part in it). One thing I learned from that is that some people very quickly can develop shoulder and elbow problems. Ever since then I advise people who find themselves on crutches to work on rotator cuff exercises, scapular depression and wrist flexion and extension.

I just went on crutches yesterday! I started immediately with a heavy bag warm up while sitting on a stability ball and then went 5 (2min rounds w/ planks x 1min and rest x 1min) and 20 minutes later my HR had been between 90-150+ for most of it. Seated boxing is a great endurance alternative to leg based cardio. With my run only a few weeks away, I'm babying my ankle cause it looks like a cankle! Wish me luck and I'll do the same for you.

I suffered a catastrphic ankle break years ago(dislocated foot, 8 screws, 2 plates) and I resumed my upper body training in just a few days. I just did all of my exercises sitting down. I boxed the heavy bag for cardio during this period and it worked great
