Deans' stroke musings: Changing seasons for stroke rehab

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.

Changing seasons for stroke rehab

Ten days ago I probably went for my last cross-country ski of the year. 2 hours worth with no cardio exertion at all. It was a pathetic winter, I wanted feet of snow for extra therapy. Two days later I took my bike to the local bike shop for a tuneup and to get the one-handed braking system SlidePad installed and a mirror attached. The coming weekend is supposed to hit 50F. This year is going to be the year I bike all over town. It took 2.5 years after my first analysis of how to accomplish this. I will start with a dedicated bike path 6 blocks away on side streets.

Don't follow my steps, your doctor and therapists control your recovery.

I think you meant: "YOU, your doctor and therapists control your recovery."

After our 2-year anniversaries, we find out we're all on our own. Last time I visited my physiatrist, even he said he wasn't necessary anymore; I'm seeing him next week.
