Exclamation Lisfranc fracture

I have had x-rays. It shows a break on my first tarsal at the lisfranc joint and a fracture on either my second or third metatarsal. The x-rays showed that my bones were still touching each other and surgery is not needed at that time. It has been two months and I now have much of my dexterity back. I have been trying to walk lightly on my foot but the pain is still extremely unbearable. My entire leg suffered muscular atrophy and I would like to know some exercises that can strengthen my foot and leg to try to get the process moving faster. I am scared to put any pressure on my foot because I think it can break again, but the pain does not feel like bone stress, it feels more like tendons/ligaments/nerves and muscles.

Bottom line, is there any light exercising I can do to speed the process of healing this without causing any damage to my bones?
