Had
a brain tumor? What about seizures? Worried about them, too? Does Dementia
scare the snot out of you?
I have
this fear of somebody sticking me in a corner and drooling when I’m too brain
damaged from all of the above to know who I am or who my family is.
Surprisingly,
it seems like one solace for folks with Alzheimer’s disease is music,
especially music that the victim likes. In fact, in this excerpt from an
upcoming documentary entitled “Alive Inside,” music reaches, inspires and
engages patients in a way that nothing else has been able to do.
I dare you to watch this youtube.com video that’s got over nine million hits
and not feel a little chill run up your spine.
