I am very much being treated like an insolent child at this point. Apparently, doing 1/2 the exercises per set but doing them 2x/day equates to not doing any of it. The PT went and "tattled" to the MD. I get updating them, this was tattling as MD thinks maybe this program isn't the right fit. Well...when your PT wants to push me to a 10 and if I don't, I'm non-compliant, then no, it isn't the right fit.
I tried today. I tried pacing. Only doing a few at a time. I'm really struggling with it as I went from a comfortable 6 when I woke to tears and a fiery 9 at present and still didn't get all the exercises in. PT wants me to walk 5 min every hour; OT wants me to weight shift 1 min every hour but not at the same time as my 5 min walk. I am not getting enough down time that way, clearly. Tomorrow I will try again with different pacing. If it isn't good enough, then so be it.
