I think I read almost all the books in the childhood and juvenile sections in my city library. I was disappointed that I could only take out 3 books at a time and would finish them all between Tuesday night, Thursday night and Saturday.

If you have one of those kids who always has a nose buried in a book,
here’s a reason to be happy: Scientists say activities at any age that
stimulate the brain may help preserve brain power into old age.
The scientists assessed 294 people from the Chicago area
who were ages 55 and older, using annual tests to measure thinking and
memory and questionnaires about past reading, writing and other mentally
stimulating activities. At death, which occurred at an average age of
just over 89, they looked at their brains for signs of dementia.
The study results were published this week in the journal Neurology.
They showed that mentally stimulating activities across all ages is
important for brain health in old age, said Robert Wilson, one of the
study authors, of the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,112 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
