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.

Whitewater: The Positive Power of Grief DVD

I used to be a whitewater canoeist, was damn good at it, even got a couple of trophies. I'm not going to get this because I'll just be critiquing the whitewater references for their stupidity.

Showing diversity in age and ethnicity, this video uses the metaphor of the rough waters of a fast moving river to describe critical periods of grief.  This twelve minute excursion encourages the viewer to hold to the course and to flow with their emotions through the river as they learn navigation skills to ensure their safe journey through their grief into eventual calm waters.  During the free flowing experience where triumphs and losses rule the waves and where recovery is the true measure of success the viewer will learn how to fill the voids of grief.  Through new growth the image of self can be recreated, an image that is different than before but complete and whole as one taps into in to the natural resilient self that lies within each of us.

The following will be some pictures of me on the Dog River in Ontario. Someplace on here I dissected my carotid artery. This is where I had the best time of my life and it led me  to here(MI) where I'm having a hell of a lot of fun.
