Any exercise you can do that does not aggravate your leg will actually help the healing process by getting your metabolism up and running. Sitting for long periods of time has all kinds of bad effects on your body.
Another thing you might try, if you have access to a pool, is to swim. They make a foam buoy that you put between your legs to hold them up an allow you to swim using only your arms (called a Pull Buoy). Also, walking in chest deep water is considered non-weight bearing and it feels great on your broken leg and will help keep the muscles from any more atrophy. It helps to have some kind of water shoes for this activity to keep from slipping on the bottom of the pool.
