Caladium,

I'm not trying to read your mind but to me you just sound anxious about an upcoming deposition, as anyone of us would. What I don't understand is why your doctor is requesting that you make a list. This is usually something an attorney would ask of you if he/she needed it. So I wonder why your atty isn't driving this process. If you need the list for the atty, try what was suggested, start with the material your PT put together, even if limited, and think through your usual day and unusual days like vacations, etc as well. Again, you aren't perfect and won't come up with everything you need, but please start the process. The more time you have (in my experience) the more you can refine it and think of most every issue that is relative to you and your life. We really all are individual and lead individual lives. Even if several of us have similar symptoms and limitations it will have a different effect on each of our lives. I think this goes for filling out other forms too, like applying for SSDI. What i am simply trying to say is that I wouldn't say I couldn't ride a horse or drive a stick if these are things I don't do with my life. And while one person could handwrite or compute for 10 minutes, another of us could for an hour; our bodies are very different.

I would encourage you to work with someone who is present in your life or even more than one person, someone who knows your work life and a partner or family member who knows your personal life.

Good luck with your list.
