Home Dialysis

We would like to share our experience as new students of T’ai Chi Chih and how it has already helped us. Carolyn has been a dialysis patient for about two years and we recently went through an intense six-week training for home hemodialysis. This form of dialysis requires two large needle sticks for blood circulation through the dialysis machine, close monitoring, and various procedures.

We have been performing dialysis at home for about a month. The learning curve has been steep, and we’re just beginning to master it. We started our TCC lessons just one week prior to starting dialysis at home, and we are already reaping the benefits. One day when things were not going so smoothly, we decided to put TCC to a test: we simply did a few TCC moves. It was amazing to feel all the nervousness and jitters we were experiencing just go away. Wow, we both noticed, this stuff really works!
