When I smashed my leg to bits a while ago (age 41), I was off the "real" bike for 3 months, but I was back on the trainer spinning nice and easy in about 6 weeks.
I think the most important thing to concentrate on in PT is range of motion. It will hurt and will not be fun. But if you can get your full range of motion back, then everything else follows from there. I am glad that I put up with the suffering and have 100% full range of motion in my leg.
Good luck. Make sure you have someone to talk to. I had some pretty dark days when I was recovering from my injury. Wishing you the best possible recovery.
