PHYSIO and MASSAGE too much in one day!

I had both a physio appt and a massage appt same day same place on Thurs. Given that I am still achy today, I am guessing that both on the same day is not a good thing. Lots of mobility in arm now. More exercises, still no weight bearing. Found out about a Tai Chi class that is especially for people regaining health, everything is paced slower and only to ability. Movements are adjusted to suit. And when instructor decided that you are ready to join the regular class, they gently push you out of the nest. Its not yoga, but it may be a good substitute.
Had Emily in to talk to the nurse practioner, and we are gong to get her a counsellor to talk to. Emily feels that she is stressed. I believe that she needs some help finding the language that she needs to express her concerns and disappointments. I think it would be better for everybody if we taught how to talk about and handle stress to children, so that they have those skills when they grow up.
