Def get a second opinion.
Unless something else is going on, most docs would want you to do light rotation on a trainer in 2-3 days, maybe a week if the are super conservative about sutures/staples etc.
Your PT regimen sounds like from the 70’s.
I’ve had 3 (one w/ACL doesn’t count). 2 before 29.
On those I was at full activities in under 4 weeks
My last was at 48 and recovery was much longer. 3 months to all activities and 6 until I felt 100%.
But, I was walking on it the next day.
Age can be a factor as well as the specifics of injury and surgery.
Yours seems like an outlier, but even in the grand scheme of things; 8 weeks goes by fast
