Exercise bike .. set to easy to start out, then gradually increase hardness.
The cycling does not put impact loading through the bone - much easier that way than walking.. but you get the mussels back.
One person I know of - keen cyclist .. broken hip, was on the exercise bike 1 week after the plaster was on... exercised one leg only untill the plaster came off.
Good luck. We are all different .. so the Docs take a conservative view .. you could be more rapid than they think. Or slower, but probably quicker.
