I found an excellent PT and I'm trying to follow instructions as best I can but I slip alot because it seems like I'm not really allowed to do anything. I'd like to think of what I can do but I'm stuck in a negative pattern right now.

no Driving, cutting, cooking, can opening, chewing gum, no lifting, laundry, ironing, folding, no grocery shopping, no dog walking or tug of war, don't eat chewy foods or foods that I neeed to cut?????, no lifting or reaching above my shoulders, no reading without a holder, I need to drink through a straw, no looking down instead just dropping my chin, sit up strainght from hip/waist not shoulders, knees down at an angle no straight, lumbar support cushion, arm rest while sitting but not if using keyboard, use a split keyboard w/ limited use, mattress topper, sleep on my back, lots of pillows, headset for phone, I'm sure there is more but is this a life sentence or what???? This is no way to live and i'm having a hard time with it.
