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.

Walking in the woods

For the first time since May  I went walking  in the Meridian Township Natural Area - Northwest Preserve adjacent to the apartment complex. In May lots of the trails were flooded. Tonight I walked the loop that would normally take me 30 minutes and it took 90 minutes. A number of trees have fallen over the trail and need clearing. I may have to rent a chainsaw. The grassy areas were fairly problematic because  I can't lift my feet properly to  clear it. Luckily I was coordinated enough not to fall into the stinging nettle or  prickly brambles. At least the darkness at the end didn't cause me any problems.

    I know that you're out of your f-ing mind, Dean, but a chainsaw? Seriously?

      Yes, I'm serious, it matches up with my dangerous stroke rehab presentation where I had a cartoon of a bloody arm laying on the ground as the guy picked up the chainsaw with the good arm. It concentrates the mind and that would speed up the recovery. I did just order a battery powered one, only 10 inches. I wouldn't try a gas one, they are too hard to handle.
