diagnosed with a severly unstable knee

Hi,
I'm 39, ex gymnast, i tore my acl 25 years ago. Last year, I went in to see a surgeon to have my acl repaired because it was feeling unstable and it was giving way too often. I had a knee arthroscopy 3 weeks ago. My surgeon could not repair what was left of my menisci, so he "cleaned it up" and diagnosed me with a severely unstable knee. I may go in for further surgery but am unsure. He wants to go about it conservatively and give it time. I want to strengthen my leg muscles and have been curious about aquatic therapy. What exercises in the water can i start out with. As well, what exercises can you recommend for out of the pool?

Thank you
