I'm betting many hifi owners don't relate to that at all?

We're all on different trails! It's not a hard for me to imagine an audiophile not wanting to stay involved with audio after such an injury.
I can imagine an audiophile on a quest to reproduce or replicate a "live event" in his listening room never returning to his hobby after a serious injury or illness. Ditto for the guys who derive most of their enjoyment from the hands on aspects of the hobby. Or those who value pushing performance limits, or how about those who value the hunt, or the purchase or pride of ownership above all else?
Some of us might be able to relate to the authors love for his audio equipment and for music, just as I'm sure many of us don't really get it. And even some us us who "get it" might find it impossible to enjoy music after such an event.
Me I'm happy for him - it's fortunate that he still has the ability to enjoy music the way he does. And though his situation is quite grave I'm pretty sure, if it were me, that I wouldn't give up what he still has for what he has lost.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
