Yeah!! Your optimism and positive attitude will help tremendously with your ability to manage symptoms/pain when you need it most. Personally, I look at PT/OT as a building block to my own at home therapy routine. Having a daily routine in place early on in this journey is just as important to our physical health as our mental health. And at the end of the day even if you weren't able to accomplish much else, you can be proud of your therapy goals and achievements! In turn, those around you will see your determination making them much more likely to jump in and lend a hand when you need it, without complaining or having to ask for it.

Do keep in mind the nature of CRPS (and general healing process) is that the pain can wax and wane or increase suddenly for no apparent reason. Using distraction, warm baths or epsom salt soaks, reading, journaling or just reaching out to a friend to talk about something that makes you feel good often help manage during tough times.
