LT, it still seems to me that he could have saved you a lot of grief by just saying, my back hurts. I don't want to stand because my back hurts. I don't know why he went into the whole, I don't want to be micromanaged thing. Not criticizing your T just saying....sometimes T's make bigger things of things than they need to. I think they have a therapeutic point they are trying to make but not everything needs to be drawn out. It seemed to cause you unnecessary pain and I'm sorry you went through that. Not to say that you aren't stronger for having gone through it, but sometimes pain is just pain and there's no reason for it. Not being critical, just trying to tell you I'm sorry you were in pain for a reason that would have been easily explained.
