      it would seem weird but you have to have some trust in the people who are gonna work on your brain, would you rather be awake while doing something to indicate to the doctors that they arent screwing things up or would you go under anesthesia and most likely get paralyzed?

Mine was Deep Brain Stimulation for Essential Tremor in 2019 and it has worked remarkably well. I remember almost bursting in to tears during the surgery when I held my hand up and it was still. I had never experienced stillness before. As someone on the team said several months later in response to my absolute gratefulness, “stillness is a beautiful thing”.

      My grandmother was the same, she couldn't remember any of her children or grandchildren at the end, but whenever I played her favorite piano pieces she came back to us for a little while. It was such a beautiful thing to see. For some reason Alzheimer's just doesn't damage the parts of our brain that process music. Years later I ran a music therapy program at a memory care hospice center; it was so amazing to see how music could temporarily alleviate the anxiety, distress, and confusion the residents had to suffer through every day in a way medication couldn't

    This really hits home for me. It combines two of the most special things in my life. My Aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumor 23 years ago, and it was cancerous. She went through multiple surgeries, and I got to spend a wonderful 12 years of my life with her. She passed away in March of this year. But something that always sticks with me is how supportive she was. She showed me her guitar when I was seven, and she was the one who made me realize that this was it. Music was my passion. She was so encouraging with it.
