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.

Rehab failures from this weekend

The main  item going on was the Catfight For The Crown, a drag show beauty contest and fundraiser for the Ruth Ellis Center of Detroit at the Fillmore.  A friends brother won last year and we had 6 women and 4 guys in the balcony booth this year. It was quite hilarious with categories of evening wear, swimsuit, talent, and interview segments. It raised 100,00 before even starting and another 27,000 during the show.

First problem was the bowtie I was going to wear. It requires two fully functional hands and fingers and the ability to raise the left hand to my neck. All were failures.  Had to ask one of my women friends to put it on.

Since I was bringing sake for the preshow drinks I needed to bring separate glasses to not mix with the wines we were having. Bought two six packs of flimsy plastic wine glasses with the snap on bases. One handed removal of the wrapping plastic and separating the pieces resulted in breaking one base and one cup. This totally required a gentle touch with two hands, one hand is way too rough.

In the booth we had high bar chairs with arm rests to sit on. This allowed me to perch my beer glass on the arm rest instead of simply transferring it to my left hand like normal people do.  My neighbor during one of the clapping sessions knocked a half full glass of beer into my lap.

I expect that every one of these failures is fixable and has been addressed by at least one of the 10 million yearly stroke survivors. That we don't have a publicly available database of solutions is the most damning failure of our fucking failures of stroke associations.
