I had an industrial accident where an incompetent electrician managed to jam 277-volt 3-phase through my arms and shoulders. There was some temporary loss of large-motor control, but I kept all small-motor control, and there's still constant pain(but you can get used to that).
Made me realise that the function could stop any time, and I should start enjoying it while I could. So I stopped being afraid, took voice lessons, and stopped watching teevee - it's amazing how much time you have for hobbies when you cut out TV.
Now playing music is an integral part of what goes on around here, and I like it that way.
