Close, but no cigar. 


I have nine physical therapy sessions [remaining / left] at (the) Adventist Center.

What about:


I have 9 remaining sessions of physical therapy at the Adventist Center?


'cause I swear to God that's what I heard.

Yep. The first one is going to be fine and the second sentence is like the rhyme.

So this sentence is grammatically and colloquially invalid?

That's cool, but I just wanted to make sure if what I heard was correct or not.


I think the first one with for is definitely the wrong preposition, right?

It sounds wrong to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone said it that way.
