Default Broken Ankle + What exercises can I do?

I recently broke my ankle playing hockey and now I can't put any weight on that foot for 4 weeks.
Needless to say I don't want to stop going to the gym but I'm not sure what exercises I can do that won't apply pressure on my ankle.
I can't do most free weight excersises because I can't carry heavy weights to the bar or to a bench. And certain machine's still rely on planting your feet which won't be good for my ankle either.

Can anyone give me some exercises I can do so that I can continue to workout and not damage my foot?

P.S. What really sucks is that I was starting a new cycle that included many of the 8-week blasts prescribed by Animal and other great trainers here. I was making some great gains and then this injury happened.

I can talk from experience bro ankle breaks are one of the worse. I broke my ankle in the summer of 2002 playing ball. I had to get surgery and get 4 pins in my right ankle. it took almost a good year for it to heal good, now i was stll able to do stuff like run and (!@#$%^&*) but after i stopped any activity it would get real tight and sore the next day. till this day its not as flexible as my left. thats one reason i regret playing that day cause now i cant do squats on the free weights cause i cant bend my ankle to a 90 degree and i cant do calve raises llke the full strech.. I try my hardest to hit these muscles like smith machine squats and stuff lke that. I hope u have better luck then me man. as for exercises just chill on it man take it easy. first get use to walking like u use to and try to jog and stuff like that.. after wards what i just to do was put it in hot water so the blood can stay around the ankle it worked real good.. i did it b4 and after any activity that i did. And again just time bro it took me about a whole year for it to feel good but its still not at a 100%.. AND I DOUBT IT WOULD EVER B... FIGHT HARD DIE TRYING MAN...... JUST TRY YOUR HARDEST MAN IM GOING OUT FOR THE SEALS IN 2 YEARS AND IM A LIL WORRIED ABOUT THE ANKLE BUT (!@#$%^&*) IT DUDE FIGHT THRU IT...
