Getting in shape (Score 1)

I reccomend the Xiser step machine- I had a messed up knee for a while, and it's helping tremendously.. The specific thing I use is at http://www.xiser.com/XiserSlim.html. I'm assuming you have some closed space (office, cubicle, cardboard box) so that no one will think it odd when you use the machine.

Also, you could get a gripper for your hand. I think any sports equipment store should have one.
