Deans' stroke musings: Personalized support for returning to work

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.

Personalized support for returning to work - National Stroke Association

The effort and resources for creating this could have been better used in solving the neuronal cascade of death. With much less dead and damaged neurons survivors would have a much better chance of returning to work. I wish people would look for the earliest point in which to help survivors. And that is not after all the damage is done.

Dear Dean,

The road back to employment after a stroke can be daunting and full of challenges for stroke survivors. You may be asking yourself: Am I capable of working? Can I do what I did before my stroke? Can I tolerate full-time employment? What happens to my disability status if I return to work?
To help stroke survivors who want to rejoin the workforce, National Stroke Association has collaborated with Allsup Employment Services and the Ticket to Work Program to connect stroke survivors and caregivers to personalized employment services.
Some things to check out on our website for the Ticket to Work Program are:

Live video chat with Allsup staff member
Information about the Ticket to Work Program
Client case study

Thank you for your continued support of National Stroke Association as we seek to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke. Stay tuned for more resources to support returning to work later this summer!
Kind regards,
