Broken Wrist?

Ok, well, my dieting is sorta slowed down thanks to a softball game (lol), running to third base and hit a puddle of water, fall on my back and braced the fall with my wrist as a natural reaction, I lived with it for a few hours (didnt want to say I got hurt in a softball game with some kids and a few friends then felt it was hurting to much and went to my moms friend whos a doctor, well lo and behold I broke it and cant do any intense exercise for 6 weeks or until doctor tells me.

so my question: does anyone have any advice on how to pass time/any exercises you can do? I know I shouldnt move much however being crippled for a month and a half is gonna suck and I may as well make the best of it (im bed ridden until monday since a orthapedic is gonna look at it and see if I need a cast etc)

The only thing im doing right now is eating alot of protein and walking a bit (dont want my body to use a ton of muscle to repair the break rather it use fat for energy so hoping high protein will help.

oh ya by the way, the break is a fracture on the growth plate (dangerous spot since if I break it any worse I have to get heavy surgery, and my arm will be shorter then the other one as I understand which would cause some weight lifting complications ><
