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.

Voice training

I had my first session with a voice coach tonight. I need breathing work because I run out of breath when talking. I want to sing karaoke. I'll be practicing Summertime and 76 trombones.  She tells me I'm at least a baritone and can probably get to bass. I was worried because I knew my voice post-stroke had changed and thought I had lost the bass part.
Another reason for this is exemplified by this book of her bookshelf;

Music Therapy in Dementia Care

 

I'm using this as one of my dementia prevention protocols.

    Tell us how it goes. I have a lot of hoarseness since my stroke. I've been thinking about voice lessons, too.
