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.

Dean's coming

I heard this several times during the night. I was at a wedding on Sat. , One of my cousins twin daughters got married .  I think I'd met her precisely 3 times. The first time at her high school graduation party, two other times at other cousins kids graduation parties.  Upon opening her RSVPs to the wedding, when she got to mine she called up her mom and dad and exclaimed, 'Dean's coming'. I'm not sure how I got to this exalted status but I'm one of the few that will take on her dad, called T-bear by her college friends.  It was only a 11.5 hour drive each way and going thru Chicago.

    I've said it before, but you are the only stroke survivor I know ballsy enough to pull a "dean" by driving so far AND through Chicago. I'll bet you do 80 sometimes.

      I set my cruise control at 80 most of the time and have been known to set it at 85. Using the cruise control allows me to drive with the left hand and drink my coffee thru a straw, so far I've not had to drop the coffee to correct the aiming of the car. Driving is much easier now that I have a turn signal extender. I've even removed the spinner knob.

      I love my spinner knob and directional extension. Congrats on figuring out a way to drink coffee and drive. I miss that.
