Can you safely put weight on the knee of the injured leg? I've got an idea or two, but don't want to waste your time suggesting things which are impossible.
Also, did you get elbow crutches or armpit crutches? I know the latter get used a lot more in the US (where I'm guessing you are), but, assuming decentish levels of upper body strength, elbow crutches are easier on your body in some respects and allow for better mobility.
I got a Lisfranc injury (weird sprain-fracture of the midfoot) two years ago, and was on crutches for some time -- there are some posts from back then which you might find useful:
Crowdsource my foot! -- in which I asked for advice on using crutches, bone healing, exercise and other tips for surviving non-weight-bearing life, and got lots of good suggestions
What I'm up to -- in case a bit of inspiration helps: this was the no-weight-bearing-on-the-left foot strength-training regime I came up with
