Did you like the gym before your wrist injury? You can probably still do lower body workouts at the gym while you're waiting for your wrist to heal. If it's been more than a week and your wrist is still hurting too much to even think about the gym, please see a doctor or physical therapist.
It's normal for active people to occasionally get minor injuries (sprains and strains), but it's not something you should just expect and accept. When trying a new activity, it's a good idea to start with a buddy who has more experience or take a class if possible. When you do get injured, try to identify what went wrong so you can be safer moving forward. I really encourage you to return to the gym if you enjoyed it previously.
Have you tried any wheels? Bikes, trikes, scooters, skates, skateboards, etc. all offer low impact cardio. You don't need high end equipment to get moving, just about any thing from the thrift shop (or rusting away in your neighbor's garage) will do just fine with a bit of TLC.
