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.

Over walking therapy

Last evening I joined the Mid-Michigan Food Club for smoothies and a walk along the Grand and Red Cedar Rivers on the Lansing River Trail. We did about 4 miles in 1.5 hours at a pretty good clip, I was dragging up the rear. My affected left hip was pretty sore from the not so pretty walking stride. Ibuprofen was great for taming the pain. I'm going to have to get better by next Feb. if I expect to go to Italy and need to walk 6-15 miles a day. I refused to ask the others to slow down, I wasn't going to announce my handicap. After that my left arm was finally hanging straight, so some good came from it.

    I don't know where yet, so far I haven't been paying too much attention because other friends know what is going on. I can deal with the ambiguity.

    How wonderful! I envy you. My husband would never be willing to go on a trip like that with me or "let" me go alone, but maybe eventually I'll recover enough that he would want to go.
