During class this week, we were asked to do our form without an arm. I could not even do the first move. How could one change throw me into total shutdown? It shows that although I know the moves, I haven't really thought of which sides does what. I have separated my top half and bottom half during training but never separating right and left. I don't think at this time I could make it through a form without an arm but it does have me concentrating on my right and left which was the focus of the exercise. Connecting our harmonies.
Saturday was my first open training in over 2 years. It was nice to see how many people were there. It was good working with Sihing D Bjorquist and Sihing M Ward. It was great seeing how everyone has progressed over the years. This is just the start of returning back to by pervious normal. In a week I will be off of my last immunosuppressant and then 3 months later I will be able to start receiving my live childhood vaccinations (measles, chickenpox, etc). Once I get those started, I am actually released from my Bone Marrow Transplant team and moved to long term where I will only need to go to CCI once a year. Still seeing progression every day!
See you on the mats.
