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.

Red Wine stroke therapy

I'm now the owner of a battery powered corkscrew. It works great except that the foil cutter requires the bad hand to be able to grasp the bottle securely and not tip it, my wrist spasticity makes that almost impossile. I usually have to set the bottle on the floor and steady it between my shoes to keep it from spinning as the corkscrew works. So over the course of three days I finish off a bottle of red wine.
I'm sure box wines would be easier to open but they require two hands to serve, one hand to hold the glass under the spigot, the other hand to push down on the spigot to pour wine into the glass. I've done it single-handed by holding the glass and using a thumb to pull the lever down. But that is prone to spillage.
Don't do this.
I do it for all these reasons.

Moderate wine consumption is associated with better cognitive test results: a 7 year follow up of 5033 subjects in the Tromsø Study

A glass of red wine is the equivalent to an hour at the gym, says new study

I usually have my guest hold the bottle while I operate the power cork screw and pour with my good hand.

I passed this on to my red wine buddies:

No wonder I like a little vino!

I am sure you could find some justification here also!
