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.

Last call for RAISE nominations!

Man I'm so arrogant I nominated myself for Outstanding individual. I won't get it because to give it to me they would have to acknowledge that their whole organization is a failure. Talk about biting the hand that might feed you.

Dear dean,
Over the past two years, we have given 13 awards to individuals and organizations across the country for carrying out stroke awareness activities in their communities. The 2013 Raising Awareness in Stroke Excellence (RAISE) Awards nomination period is well under way—you only have 10 days left to nominate someone you know (or yourself) for any efforts in stroke awareness in your community!
No effort to raise stroke awareness is too small. When all efforts are put together, it is then that we begin to see the biggest impact. Kathy Howard, a 2012 RAISE Award winner from St. Louis, Mo., felt her efforts were not big enough, but in reality, she was very deserving of an award:
It was the most unexpected and appreciated honor I have ever received. I felt that I had not done enough yet to be so deserving while at the same time it has been my motivation to give survivors a voice.”
