Music Helps Me

Posted by Parus @parus, Oct 13, 2017

At times music can be helpful. I like the group Anthem Lights...A new discovery for me when I was perusing youtube. A Capella has always been my thing. I love to sing!!!!!

@johnbishop I loved this. I wish I had seen it before New Year's Eve at the Boston Pops. I could have adapted some of the steps to use on the dance floor.
I agree with @gingerw when it comes to drinking urine. Just the thought of it turns my stomach.

I try to eat to stay healthy, but think I will skip this.

Music has always been a part of my life. It is, and always will be, therapy for my soul.

@tjgisewhite, Welcome to Connect. Would you tell us a little more about how you experience music? Do you sing, play an instrument, dance, listen? I am interested to hear more about how you have used music as your therapy for your soul. (I like that phrase).

Thank you. My name is Tammy and I am a recent liver transplant patient at Mayo. I sing at home and in the car...lol. We didn't always have TV when I was growing up, but we always had a radio. Music has always had a special way of touching me and bringing out the very best in me. Thank you again for asking about my interest in music.

Tammy, music is therapy for the soul... and the body!
If you are near a community center or a senior center they often sponsor singing groups.. no experience needed . .. just a love of singing. Such a change of mood and you meet wonderful men and women.

@tjgisewhite, Congratulations on your recent liver transplant! I am extra happy to meet you because I am a ltransplant recipient, too! I received a liver and kidney transplant at Mayo Rochester in 2009.
After my transplant, I picked up my violin that I had put aside for years. I consider myself a work in progress.

I invite you to the Transplant Group. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/transplants/
There is a seemingly endless list of discussions. Here is one that you might want to consider - Your gratitude changes because of organ failure...

Tammy, When did you receive your transplant? How can I be of help as you move forward?
