Maybe u can get some weights and some bench for home.

In practice I did not see a single person at my clinic who continued to workout upper body during the lengthening phase. You're very unlikely to be the exception to that irrespective of what you think you'll be doing now. You'll be too tired, and the actual mechanics of working out makes it borderline impossible unless you have a helper with you, as you won't be able to carry any plates or dumbbells (as you'll need to hold the crutches, and adding more weight to the load the nails have to bear simply isn't a good idea). When you sit down, you'll have to use your hands to take the weight, so forget about using the lat pulldown or any pulling machine for that matter.

All you could really do is machines like the chest press, and have a helper carry dumbbells over to you so you can do seated exercises. You won't be doing it, it's not remotely worth the bother.

Not an issue at all and actually a great way to keep yourself busy and carries all the health benefits with it as well like cardiovascular health, hormonal health and last but not least, mental health.

I think it’s a great combo while precice femur lengthening as long as you’re careful.
