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.

Sleep ADLs

While lying on my back I try to place my left arm fully extended on my left side. In order to get it there there has to be no sheets or blankets in the way. I have to do this at least 6 times a night because of the poor sleep I get. This means I've done it  6 x 365 x 7years = 15,330 repetitions. At that rate it will take another 449 years to get to 1 million reps. I guess I'll have to wake up a lot more often in the middle of the night in order to accomplish this before I die. This should be already established as some kind of protocol  in the stroke rehab database your stroke association has for all survivors to use.

    How can an entry about such an awful situation make me laugh? What would a nearly 500-year-old Dean look like?
