I don't have any advice to offer, but know that I'm here for you.
Your PT sounds great for explaining everything. I have the same problem remembering my doctors' reccomendations, so I ask to have them write it down and carry a notebook with me. It has the questions and observations that I have at random moments that I always seem to forget when I'm face to face with my docs.
