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.

Subway therapy

Only once did I manage to sit on the subway. That was a problem because standing up and getting through the crowd of standing passengers was difficult. My friends were standing outside the doors waiting to grab any available part of my body and yank me onto the platform. Normally we just stood within a couple of feet of the doors to make sure we could exit in time. You have to be quite aggressive to get off the subway during rush hour.

    The few times I've ridden the subway, I had to stand right next to the door with my unaffected arm grasping a pole because I don't move fast enough to hurry to the door. If anyone tried to share the pole and was in my way, I would "accidentally" lurch against them so that they moved away. And Tom would stay behind me so that if I missed the stop, he missed the stop.
