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.
You will - you're too stubborn to not keep trying stuff that's too hard for a stroke survivor w hemiparesis to do. How can survivors try to "be like Dean" if you don't do the crazy things to inspire them?
ReplyDeleteI'll try again, actually I've been on several canoe trips and have sea kayaked the Apostle Islands post-stroke. It was just a depressing weekend being reminded of everything I used to do effortlessly. I hate being put on a pedestal, it mostly means I have nobody I can rest my head on and always have to stay positive. It's probably why I make liberal use of Fbombs in my posts.
