@wsh66 Stephen, my Tai Chi Chuan master always taught us to be seated if we could not stand the entire 40 minute routine. I have visualized Tai Chi routines while undergoing medical procedures, which has done wonders for keeping calm! Always have been curious of there would be a way to watch my brainwaves while doing that in a medical setting.
"Controlling depression and stress are essential to pain management. How much pain we have is a physical metric. How we experience that pain is a psychological metric." Well said, Stephen

@migizii thank you for this reminder today, as my pain was feeling intolerable and I struggled for much of the day....and although the pain was physical and very much real, it was my emotional state that was more difficult to cope with.....I pushed through with activity and although there was only limited physical improvement, my emotional improvement was good😊
