Transcription vs. music

I enjoy my 'new' line of work, and am more grateful than I can express for God's having led me to it. Still, though, having had since the age of 16 the goal of earning my doctorate in choral conducting and then teaching in college, and having achieved that, it is difficult, and painful, to have that world forever stripped away from me now due to the consequences of my accident. Yet I know, too, that God has provided me with abilities to succeed in my new world ... flying fingers, a good ear, and a lifelong inclination toward and skill with words ... so I need now to focus my efforts on attempting to become the best transcriptionist I can possibly be. It requires, also, somewhat of a mental makeover - to stop thinking of myself primarily as a musician (the way I have nearly all my life), and to begin to think of myself primarily as a medical transcriptionist.
