Thank you for the kind words. And yes, apparently music memory sits in a different part of the brain than our "general" memory. Think of all the songs we can still recite by heart from our childhoods. Thanks again. Also, I may have asked before but are you any relation to Leonard? I'm old. :)
Another great story using your perspective as a lens. I really liked the Tony Bennet performance when he was suffering from Alzheimer's (try spelling that without spellcheck!!) but came to life on stage with his music. And then after not remembering Lady Gaga in prior visits, he recognized her entering the stage. It's ironically what memories are made of. Thank you for what you're doing with the patients.
I love this perspective on time. I suffered a traumatic brain injury at 22 resulting in brain damage to my frontal lobe. I sit with tens of thousands of pictures in my phone. Im 43 and married, with one active and awesome 4 year old little boy. Living every day knowing I might not remember yesterday. Thank you for your writing, so real, so true…always.🤍 living in reality 🤍
Thank you for sharing your story. It doesn't sound like things have been easy but you’ve been resilient and made it work. Makes my heart warm to hear it and how you’ve survived. Thank you
