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.

Jacques Demers getting better every day after suffering stroke

Notice the quote they use is describing Mr. Demers. Expects rehab to go well. Not any description of RESULTS  they have had with similar patients.

Sen. Jacques Demers is getting better every day and is now eating after his stroke nine days ago, doctors said Friday.
Demers, 71, still has some weakness on the right side and difficulty with speech but is alert, said Dr. Angela Genge of the Montreal Neurological Institute.
"He smiles and says hello and puts out his hand and greets you," Genge told a news conference. "He’s perfectly aware of who you are."
"Every day he is brighter and looking better, is interacting quite well, is very aware of his situation and, as of yesterday (Thursday), has begun to eat."
Demers, who coached the Montreal Canadiens to their 1993 Stanley Cup victory, was rushed to hospital on April 6.
Doctors hope to move him to a rehabilitation centre early next week, where he will begin intense therapy to regain his speech and movement. He has already begun some therapy.
The intensive rehab process will take three months but his recovery will continue for months beyond that period.
"The sooner aggressive rehabilitation is started, the better people do," Genge said. "So we’ve started daily speech therapy, we’re getting him to rehab."
Genge described Demers as a motivated patient and said she expects the rehab to go well, while adding it is impossible to say if the senator will make a full recovery.
