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.

"Lexophile" is a word used to describe those that have a love for words - Stroke rehab version

Shouldn't the very first part of your rehab consist of intellectually challenging your brain? Your stroke doctor moron should be giving something like this to you.
Such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless." A competition to see  who can come up with the best lexphillies is held every year in an  undisclosed location. This year's winning submission is posted at the very  end.
 

.. When fish are in schools, they sometimes take  debate.

.. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve  months.

.. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles  U.C.L.A.

.. The batteries were given out free of  charge.
 
.. A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and  nail.

.. A will is a dead giveaway.

.. With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

.. A boiled egg is hard to beat.

.. When you've seen one shopping center you've seen  a mall.

.. Police were called to a day care center where a  three-year-old was resisting a rest.

.. Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left  side was cut off? He's all right now.
 
.. A bicycle can't stand alone;  it is two tired.

.. When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

.. The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is  now fully recovered.

.. He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
 
.. When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought  she'd dye.

.. Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point  of it.

   And the cream of the wretched crop:
.. Those who get too big for their pants will be exposed in the  end.
And a friends version - 
Did you hear about the guy who ran over himself? He asked his wife to go to the store and pick up a six pack for him and she wouldn't so he ran over himself.

  1. I think that playing Words With Friends should be part of any stroke rehab. It's a cognitive challenge, involving reading, writing, math, and visual pattern recognition, and it's social, and unlike most of the crap that's out there, it's FREE.
