GM Chin’s Recovery
Grandmaster Sam Chin’s recovery from his recent total knee replacement continues to go well.
He finished two weeks of in-house therapy, now he has to go out for intense rehab at a nearby clinic twice a week.
His leg is already stable enough to walk up and down the stairs, and when walking on flat ground he doesn’t need to use a cane anymore!
He has already started spinning hands with youngest son Hsin and eldest daughter Yen Lee as part of his daily exercise.
GM Chin and family want to express their gratitude to everyone who has been involved in this process, from the students who helped research the best possible doctors and facilities for the procedure to the fellow martial arts masters with extensive backgrounds in physiology and therapeutic modalities who called with recommendations to help speed his recovery.
Thank you to all of you for your love and support.
