Deans' stroke musings: Returning to Work After a Stroke

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.

Returning to Work After a Stroke

From an email from the National Stroke Association. While this is good, lets analyze what would be much better. Cause and effect. Less disability would mean a much higher chance of returning to work. How do you do that? Simple. You stop or reduce the neuronal cascade of death. Like these 165 options needing more research. Or you can do the lazy press release option like this which the NSA seems to specialize in. Come on Anna, do the right thing and change the focus of the NSA.

Dear dean,

Returning to work after a stroke plays an important role in regaining your independence and rejoining society.

Watch Grant tell his story.

Grant Needham had a stroke at the age of 46 and successfully returned to work just three weeks later. Thanks to the help of his family and co-workers, he overcame several difficulties to do so.

One in four strokes occur in people under the age of 65. Nearly 50 percent of those survivors will return to full- or part-time employment.

Can you go back to work? The severity of your stroke and your recovery plan play an integral part in your success. Learn how Grant did it.

Sincerely,
