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.

Retirement - It happened

My last contract in Boston had a very toxic environment. My project lead was into making sure that none of the problems in the project would point back to him. As a result he was trying his best to set me up for blame with misleading emails.  Because I wasn't playing nice with such crap I was released early from the contract. That precipitated the whole, why not retire now? My financial planner says I have enough to live on for 30+ years.  Will take full SS when I reach 66 years and 4 months assuming it still exists.
Lots to do;
Sleep
Write books
Travel a lot
Swim
Bicycle, will get a 3 wheel folding recumbent.
Have fun
Drink to excess.
Learn Spanish, 4 books and 2 DVDs in possession
Do a TED talk
Run a stroke research foundation.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover."
- Mark Twain

I'm doing the Hunter S. Thompson thing;
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

If dementia rears its ugly head I've consulted with several friends to tell me it is occurring in myself so I can  use that wingsuit to jump off a cliff and slam right back into the cliff.  My Dad has dementia, I don't want to go there. It is like Charlie in Flowers for Algernon.
