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.

Buffet table stroke rehab failures.

Buffet tables are set up expecting two fully functioning hands, one to hold the plate, one to dish the food. Very few have enough table space to set a plate down. Haven't dropped a plate yet, but only a matter of time. Pot luck dinners at friends house have the same problem but an even worse problem crops up. Paper or plastic plates are used and partially balancing them on the edge of the table has resulted in unbalanced plates that have landed on the floor. Usually the host now gives me a more substantial plate or holds it for me as I fill it up. Went to a stroke presentation once that had a buffet and obviously they had no consideration of survivor needs.

My social life is compromised.
