i just love music! i have been practicing my "singing voice" in the car on my way to work, and at home when i am there by myself. i have never been a professional singer,ha ha,but i enjoy singing. my voice started changing before my surgery. that was a hint something was wrong. it actually improved quite a bit immediately after surgery, but then i sounded like 'froggy" until my endo upped my thyroid dose. now i get a little hoarse in the evenings. either i am singing too much, or it is coming from the swelling i still have in that area. listening to music is an antidepressant for me. i can usually cheer myself up after a good song or two. after my poor unsuspecting radiologist told me about my lymph nodes being cancer, i stopped singing and listening to music. but it only lasted for about a day. i am embracing my Pollyanna self again. i know that whatever happens, i will do my best to get better.
on my next CD of upbeat music ( my daughter is making this for me) i asked her to include the song by Gloria Gaynor- " I will survive". i know she is talking about love gone bad, but i think it can relate to other things as well. i also asked her to include, " here comes the sun" by George Harrison. as for the rest of the CD, it will be a surprise. i never know what to expect. i have almost worn out the first one she made for me, and my husband sure is sick of hearing it every time we get in the car to go somewhere! i think he actually grits his teeth when "all the single ladies" comes on! but isn't that a joyful song though? i mean, so many people have danced to it. and there was that u-tube video where the little boy was in the back seat trying to " dance" along with his sisters. it was so cute!
good music, good food, good family times, nature, God... so much to be thankful for.
I'm writing about my journey through thyroid cancer and beyond. I'm going to try to incorporate humor and positive self-reflection in an attempt to help myself heal and perhaps help others deal with this situation.Disclaimer: this site is for informational purposes only. this is not a substitute for seeing your health care provider.
