Same theme, once upon a time in my semi private room with thirty some odd other Marines all pretty banged up. I asked the Doc for an honest assessment, it was not positive. After many hours of PT in a pool and yes you can sweat in a swimming pool. Here I am still active and alive. Like one of the other guys above stated I think the Docs give worst case scenario so anything else is a win. F them, work your nuts off on the therapy stay focused and I bet you will heal up much better than predicted.
