@tpgill0563 Of course you are exhausted! Your body has suffered a major trauma and needs weeks to recover from the effects of the surgery alone, let alone the PT, which is a further assault on healing bones muscles, tendons and nerves.
I wish docs would be more honest in explaining the entire recovery process, but then maybe it would discourage people from having this life-altering operation.
I just had my wrist replaced this morning, and expect to be tired and sore for several days, followed by 3 weeks in a cast and 6 more in a brace.
Please be gentle with yourself, rest, ice, elevate and stay ahead of any pain.
