Family, Friends & TCC

I was feeling a bit out of balance, not quite right, like something is going on, but you don’t know quite what. So, reluctantly, I made an appointment with my primary care physician in late April. Within a week I had an ultrasound and CAT scan; I had a mass in my mid-section. Surgery was scheduled the next week and additional procedures might have been needed.

On May 8, family and friends came to the hospital to lend support. Surgery took less time than was scheduled, possibly due to the energy from the Tai Chi Chih practice done while I was in surgery. I woke to everyone telling me I was okay. The mass was contained; I just needed to heal for six to eight weeks. She suggested I keep moving a little more each day, but not to overdo it. Over the next couple weeks, I continued doing TCC and with encouragement from family and friends my energy returned.

As the weeks progressed I was amazed at how little pain I felt. At three weeks the surgeon suggested continuing whatever I was doing – because I was healing just fine. Six weeks from the initial appointment and four weeks from the 10-pound mass being removed, I am doing about anything and everything I want. Joy through Movement is truly healing in so many ways, and if you add family and friends … what an unstoppable combination. Thank you all, and Justin.
