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.

Trombone stroke rehab

Just bought one from eBay. Its another part of preventing my descent into dementia. I played trombone in high school, wasn't very good at it. When I was a senior I was 2nd trombone, a freshman was first.  I never did learn how to read notes, what was a B,C,F, I learned that this note on this staff line was this opening of the slide. And since holding the trombone to my mouth will require my left arm and hand to cooperate and shut down the spasticity that prevents me from reaching my mouth with my left hand. Or I'll just bungee cord my wrist to my neck.  This will be frustrating as hell but eventually good for me.  13 years ago I took up the saxophone, loved playing it, but was not very good. I have my alto sax here but since I can't keep my left hand open I haven't been able to play it. My tenor sax is now my daughters, she played it in high school.
