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.

Trail clearing rehab

My battery powered chainsaw is a problem. When cutting thru thicker wood the chain loosens up and comes off the bar after 5 minutes. I thought 4 weeks ago that I had just 2 trees to clear. 2 weeks ago a storm came through and I had another 4 trees to clear. This afternoon I finally got through one of the problem trees and got to walk the back loop. Another 4 more trees to clear yet. As long as the snow holds off for a couple more weekends I can get this accomplished and xc ski the trails this winter. In carrying the branches off the trails I managed to heavily fall on my left butt twice, luckily not into brambles or rose bushes.  I'm walking with a heavy limp tonight because of that and using vitamin I.  I am using gumshoe boots to walk the trails now. An excellent stroke rehab  boot because it has  no ankle support. 2 hours of walking is great for my ankle muscles and balance.
