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.

5 Things Men Fear Most About Aging

I couldn't help but go thru these. For women you have to go here;
http://www.caring.com/articles/5-things-women-fear-about-aging
Men here:
http://www.caring.com/articles/5-things-men-fear-about-aging
#1: Impotence - I'm not sure about this one, after the divorce I'll find out. No biggee
#2: Weakness - You can't get any weaker than after a stroke, I survived that quite well.
#3: Retirement/irrelevance - Even when I retire, at least 10 years from now, I'll still have the stroke medical world to whip into shape. No one is going to accomplish that in 10 years.
#4: Losing wheels (and independence) - It took me 18 months to get back to driving and not being able to do it was quite emasculating. Now I'll drive anywhere for however long it takes.
#5: Losing your mind (or your wife losing hers) - I already did this once, if I lose it again I'll get it back.

I think I'm prepared for aging. Life is good.

    Compared to stroke recovery, everything seems easy. I have become "super woman". I can do anything, but hopefully there will not be any more strokes or brain surgeries in the future. ;)

    I'm prepared for aging, too; what I'm not ready for though is my husband aging. The other day he was talking about doing something stupid - climbing on the roof or the equivalent - and I said, "Yup, that's just what we need ... you having a brain injury." He was very put out - he has put up selflessly with my brain injury, so what was I complaining about? My point was that life is challenging enough - would be even worse w both of us impaired.
