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.

Yogurt challenges after stroke

I never received any ADL training on opening these containers. Trying to get the container into my spastic left hand and hold it upright is impossible. So I set in in the sink drain trap to peel off the cover. I really do expect that there should be publicly available protocols for all the little things every stroke survivor has to go thru. With 10 million yearly stroke survivors  there should really never be very much that someone hasn't already had to figure out and solve. A task that obviously is way too difficult for our fucking failures of stroke associations.

  1. I take the lid of a yogurt container by placing it on a silicon pad designed to protect counter tops from hot pans. The silicon pad creates friction that holds the yogurt container still. I found my silicon pads at Bed Bath and Beyond.
