A close friend of mind who plays ukulele (seems like most do)wife has been admitted to Shepherds Center here in Atlanta for rehabilitation. She had become paralyzed even unable to breath on her own. I'm pleased to say she is taking a turn for the better.
It is a slow road to recovery but she is speaking and has regained use of her hands and feet and soon its time to start rehabilitation. She has chosen to use her ukulele to help her along. The hospital is thrilled with the idea!
I could imagine many benefits like dexterity and strength building but also improved brain function and something to fight off depression of being in a hospital.
Maybe the ukulele will be used more for rehab in the future?
