I walked! Walk, walk, walk. It strengthens all your tendons and muscles and my ortho said I was in great shape and would recover quickly. I'm 8 weeks out and back to walking. Now up to 2 miles a day, but I do do my PT exercises on days I don't walk.
Hope you have a great surgery and recovery.

@emb123 walking is always a great exercise, but many of us have to avoid the impact from regular walking. My PT advised me that even the treadmill is better if impact is a problem.
