Yep, just don't over do it, though it sounds like you already have. I did and it swelled up again and was v painful for a week or so; as well as popping some stiches.

Turbo trainer on a v easy spin is also good for improving flexion (as are heel raises), but getting on and off is "fun". I wouldn't try it on your own.

I swam every day for a few months. work up to wearing fins.
Indo boards are good. As is slack lining. Get a trampet.
Best of luck.
