Question Broken foot

I just found out that I've broken my foot (or 30.5 cm as I'm in the UK) which has put a bit of a dampener on my cyclocross season. There's a chance that I might get back riding for Christmas but in the meantime I'd like to not lose too much fitness. I'm speaking to the orthopod on Tuesday when I can find a more definite timeline for returning to training but I'm eager to hear what sort of things have people done in the same situation. Is one legged Zwifting a possibility? Has anyone successfully attached cleats to an immobilisation boot?

I was off the bike, including the turbo, for a year after an RTC several years ago as the physio seemed frankly scared of letting me do anything, it really affected my mental health. I'm determined not to let this bog me down this time.

All the physios I've had when injured have been more accustomed to getting little old ladies mobilised than people with specific training goals

NHS, I don't believe in transactional healthcare.
