I've had 3 PT sessions, they seem to be helping flexibility, for me a big thing.
I have my blood drawn weekly to check clotting levels due to warfarin. The last 4 times I have had the same tech do the draw and boy she loves her script. I understand the double checking the identity, important and makes sense, but seriously if I haven't fainted in the last 4 draws (or ever), I don't think it will affect me this time. I gave up correcting the "they will contact you in 3 to 4 days with your results", because no, they will call me that afternoon and set dosage for the week.
On the other hand, my FIL also had surgery, was on warfarin (it didn't work, they switched him to something else), so my MIL packaged up his unused prescriptions and mailed them up to me. I pointed out most people would be disturbed if they received a package full of rat poison from their in-laws.

My better half too rat poison for a long while... And that's what he lovingly referred to it as. Glad the PT is helping. I've been going twice per week... Easy easy stuff. Stretching, gait training, bike with little to no tension.
Hope things are getting slowly better. Best wishes.
