Just remember that with a bad achilles, it does not mean that you can't do anything.. it just means you have to be careful to not overdo it while it heals. Actually doing some exercise does help stimulate the blood flow and thus recovery...
So, you can do some light running, but keep it easy pace and flat. No hills and no speed work. And don't run too many miles, just build it back up very gradually.
You can do some biking, but its better on a stationary trainer with no resistance, and once again don't do too much at once.
You can do swimming, but don't push off of walls and such...
Disclaimer, I am obviously not a doctor, but in most of my books this is pretty common recommendation for people suffering with achilles issues. Don't push it to feel discomfort. Keep it easy.
