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.

Bread cutting failure

A standard evening meal for me is sliced bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The last grocery trip did not have sliced loaves so I bought an unsliced loaf and planned on cutting it myself. An unmitigated disaster. The left hand does not have the ability to open up enough to grab the loaf and stabilize it for cutting, the wrist spasticity screams, 'You're going to stay bent no matter what'. The cutting board slides all over the place and just trying to push a knife through a loaf of bread with no sawing motions doesn't work.


The result - more torn than cut

    Nothing wrong with torn bread, especially when dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

    Torn bread with oil and balsamic is the best way to eat it.

      How true, but tearing bread with one hand and my hip against the counter leaves a bit to be desired.

    Ditto - oil and balsamic and, on Friday evening, a good Italian red wine... in my opinion!
