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.

21 signs you're mentally stronger than average

If you expect to recover from a stroke you better have most of these because your recovery is totally up to you. Your doctors and therapists have very little to do with it. You could recover much faster and easier if your doctors would prevent the neuronal cascade of death.  But hell, that won't occur because stroke has NO strategy on how to solve all of its problems.

Mental strength takes a long time to develop. 
It is the daily practice of pushing yourself to grow stronger, maintaining realistic optimism, and setting healthy boundaries. Mentally strong people don't do things like waste time feeling sorry for themselves or give away their power to other people.
How do you know where you fall on the spectrum? We asked psychotherapist Amy Morin, the author of "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do."
Morin shared the following 21 signs you're mentally stronger than average, which we've listed here in her words:
1. You balance emotions with logic.

2. You choose productive behavior.

3. You feel confident in your ability to adapt to change.

4. You face the fears that hold you back.

5. You learn from your mistakes.

6. You balance self-acceptance with self-improvement.

7. You genuinely celebrate other people's success.
8. You are comfortable living according to your values.

9. You focus on sharpening your skills, rather than showing them off.

10. You live an authentic life.

11. You view life's hardships as opportunities for growth.

12. Your self-worth depends on who you are, not what you achieve.


13. You practice delayed gratification.

14. You bounce back from failure.

15. You're a realistic optimist.

16. You accept personal responsibility for your choices.

17. You express gratitude.

18. You focus on what you can control.

19. You engage in active problem-solving.

20. You're open to learning more from all that surrounds you.

21. You work on your weaknesses, rather than masking them.

  1. Forget "delayed gratification" - I'm definitely not a fan. Plus, #21 is close, but I think the single most important indication of a mentally strong person is curiosity.
