Easy Sunday

My pair of legs does feel much better after acupuncture but last night, I still slept late, at past 2am after massaging my leg. But the pain that was plaguing my legs are now gone. I noticed that by about 8pm, I feel very sleepy. If I miss this sleeping window time, the next window is around 2-3am. I am now walking with a slight limp as I feel some pain on my right pelvic bone, like a pain from a dislocation.

I have now completed half of my TCM classes, with three more modules to go. I am glad I enrolled for the TCM class because it help me understand so much of my body condition that would not be available from Western medical perspective. Combined with the Western medical perspective, we can have the best of both worlds. These two approaches are not discrete but complimentary. Of course, my course is not sufficient to make me a TCM practitioner (that was not my intention) because it take many more years of practical experience after completing the 5 year TCM course before one can practice. My classmates are a fun lot too and we all look forward to attending classes every Saturday. I understand that they are planning a next level TCM course in English, could not wait to enroll for the next course.
