You can do everything you used to do, but need to be more creative. Use a dumbbell and do all the same work with just one hand, as far as squats go, use bodyweight, a weight belt, or use a hydraulic squat machine that rests on your shoulders and the hands don't carry weight.

2 weeks isn't that long.
