This is a gratitude post. A recent hip replacement made me unable to teach, let alone do, the full range of tai chi activities. Standing Zhang postures and qigong (not the more vigorous postures) were all that was possible, for almost 6 months. At this age things deteriorate a lot over 6 months. Doctors, a physical therapist, and the other teachers have told me they are surprised at how quickly i’ve recovered and how I’m moving now. Well short of 100%. But feeling grateful to the people who introduced me to tai chi, and taught me, some of who are still around for further explorations.
