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.

The originality paradox applied to stroke

Another Seth Godin post that applies to me.
http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/156073798/0/sethsblog~The-originality-paradox.html
There are a billion people trying to do something important for the first time. These people are connected by the net, posting, creating, daring to leap first.
It's hard, because the number of people racing with you to be original is huge.
The numbers are so daunting that the chances that you will create something that resonates, spreads and changes the culture are really close to zero.
But it's also certain that someone will. In fact, there's a 100% chance that someone will step up with an action or a concept so daring that it resonates with us.
Nearly zero and certain. At the same time.
Pick your odds, decide what you care about and act accordingly.

I'm going to keep going because the stroke medical world is a complete failure and I need to change that.

    Dean,
    You and your website are absolutely original, unique and needed!
    Since my stroke 3 years ago, I have spent a huge amount of time searching for relevant info for stroke survivors and how to rehab. I found your site a year ago and have been reading daily ever since because:
    1) You validated my conclusion that the doctors really do not know what they are doing when it comes to the brain & motion.
    2) Reinforced my instinct to take charge of my own recovery, since no one else can really help.
    3) Stroke people are screwed in so many ways, but you help us understand & avoid some of the ways we are screwed
    4) stay informed of things that are happening, both good and bad relevant to stroke.

    Keep at it!
