Abstract

The following autoethnography reveals the author’s physical struggle with being confined in bed after laser eye surgery. She reflects on living simultaneously in a culture of temptation and a culture of control. The challenge causes her to shift back and forth within her personal experience while listening to music being played at her home. At a deeper level, she finds inner strength to resist using her eyes as the music therapeutically addresses her social, physical, emotional, and cognitive needs. In the end, writing the autoethnography transforms her self-experience as it sheds light on how the power of music heals her body after surgery.
