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.

Coffee cup stroke rehab

Free coffee all day at this hotel. It's wonderful. Although my planning still needs work.  If I expect to use one of the cardboard sleeves I have to put it on while the cup is upside down AND prior to putting coffee in it. Today I missed that part, it took me 10 minutes trying one-handed before I used my useless left hand to push the sleeve open against the back of the countertop. Sometimes I think the f*cking stroke has robbed me of knowing how to do the simplest things.  This is a real problem when you buy coffee from Starbucks. A great stroke association president would contact the Starbucks president and discuss possible solutions.

    I have to use the same "upside down" strategy. I don't think having a stroke is the problem. Like the reversed handlebars on the bike, it is hard to overcome our life-long experience about how objects work.
