Hurt my ankle - what do I do about exercise?
This morning I hurt my ankle and can barely walk. Normally we walk 2 miles every morning, followed by bicycle for 3 miles. Often we ride again in the evening.
I can barely walk now. What do I do if I can't exercise? Should I cut down on my calories which are 600-800/day? I don't want this to stall me!!!

You can always do the 'lie on the bed (softer on back than the floor) and air bike'. Or as someone else suggested try some water walking or water aerobics. You could do a whole lot of stretches, muscle toning exercises on the bed/floor too.
Altho your injuries probably aren't something you'd need to use a wheelchair for, you'd be amazed at the muscles you'd use if you try to propel yourself down the sidewalk. Do you know someone who has one and borrow it?
Best wishes and I hope you heal quickly.
