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.

Trail clearing

In order to keep the trails in the 124 acre natural area walkable and xc skiable I have to keep after the logs across the trails. My 12 inch electric chainsaw seized up a couple of years ago and is no longer useable. My 16 inch gas chainsaw is not something I want to try.  So I'm left with a 13 inch curved pruning saw. I've tackled 14 in. logs with it, and bound it up many times. After the trails are cleared of the big stuff, I started cutting down the invasive buckthorn trees.  In late October, these trees are the only ones still having green leaves. In the 5 miles of trails there must be thousands of buckthorn trees, from 1 in to 6 in diameter.

This twin trunked tree is causing me lots of problems, for one it is lying on the ground, not able to cut from below

Managed to get the remnant moved but will have to cut that same log again for the trail.

 
I had to cut thru this one twice because the cuts bound the saw multiple times, lucky I was on this side when it fell down.

Could just cut from the top on this one since it was hanging in the air, only 10 in. diameter



Got thru one side of this one and tried to lever it out of the way, one-handed levering doesn't work for this size log. Had to cut thru the log again, that 5 foot log is moveable with one hand.


This took a bit of cutting in the correct order, top down.

    Amazing. I worry when my husband goes out to clear trees w his chainsaw - and he's got two useable upper limbs. I suppose you climb on roofs too.

      Nope, apartment living for me now. Hey, I used to be a steeplejack in summers; shingling, painting and repairing church steeples. Got the job because the previous employee fell from a steeple and died. The worst was having to shimmy up large crosses to paint them, getting down was messy. Only once did I get stranded on the top of a steeple, the bosses son screwed up.
