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.

Mentally Strong People: The 13 Things They Avoid

I think this matches up with the resilience post here;

Understanding stress resilience

Is your doctor making sure you are being setup to be mentally strong?

Mentally Strong People: The 13 Things They Avoid

Details for each one are at the link. The stuff in red is my comments.
1.    Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves. That energy could  be better spent planning your recovery.
2. Give Away Their Power. 
3.    Shy Away from Change. 
4. Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control. I just had my luggage sent to the wrong airport, no big deal, just had to wait an extra hour to it to make it to the correct destination.
5. Worry About Pleasing Others.

6. Fear Taking Calculated Risks.This is perfectly exemplified by Scotts' post - Safety first and mine  - Safety last.
7. Dwell on the Past.  No sense in playing the what if game and you didn't have the stroke. Something I told my daughter a few times, 'Get over it'.
9. Resent Other People’s Success. Don't look at other stroke survivors successes and compare them to your own.
10. Give Up After Failure.  You may have to fail millions of times, 'Get used to it'.
11. Fear Alone Time.
12. Feel the World Owes Them Anything.

13. Expect Immediate Results.
