Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

bowling and stroke rehab

Today our unit at work had a bowling outing. I had not done this since my
event and my main worry was needing to ask a co-worker to tie the bowling
shoes. Luckily that wasn't a problem because they had velcro straps.
Bowling went fairly well. I would limp/shuffle to the line and just use
arm motion to throw the ball. By the time I planted my left foot there
was no momentum to my swing. I started out with a 15lb. ball but that was
too heavy, so I managed to get a 13 lb. ball instead, lighter ones are
obviously meant for smaller fingers. Scores were 124, 119, 113 about 10
points less than pre-stroke. All-in-all a successful outing, I'll have to
do it again.

    Our local Stroke Recovery Association is probably going to put a group together to go bowling in a month or two. A couple of the local alleys are even wheelchair accessible. I am looking forward to it already.

    Dean, I am glad to hear you had such a good time.

    Way to go Dean on your bowling. That would be a good day of bowling for me, stroke or no stroke! Hope you have a wonderful and wonderfilled holiday season.
