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.

Overcoming adversity

I knew Mark from the excellent stroke group run out of Park-Nicolet hospital in St. Louis Park, Mn.
Always cheerful and I consider myself upbeat.

Been there-Done that

Driven

By: Mark Wilson

When did being dedicated, self-motivated and disciplined, become noteworthy or unusual?  Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate being noticed, but what does this say about our American culture?  Shouldn’t we raise the bar?
We need our youth to know it’s not ok to merely get by; but to raise their personal expectations.   As we say in the athletic community, “give 110 percent effort!”
It’s insulting to me, as a hard working primate, to see other survivor’s give-up. Lose hope- that should be a crime against nature! I understand limitations, but man-up people!
Developing physical health takes a lot of heart while mental resilience requires character.
While climbing the stairs at the hospital a Marine buddy inquired why another survivor we knew, didn’t use them.  I replied that I use the stairs “Because, I love this stuff”, he responded, “You would have made a good Marine!”
If we hit it hard, the struggle, can’t get us down!
