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.

Sandwich stroke rehab failures

Sandwiches often have items dangling from them. They hang out of my mouth after I've taken a bite. So I either have to suck them up, thus spraying whatever sauces are on them onto my plate and lap. Or I set the sandwich down and clean my mouth with my good hand, hoping like hell I can pick that sandwich up again one-handed. Juicy Lucys are almost impossible to pick up again, I've had to resort to knife and fork which brands me as a barbarian.

Eg. fried onions, lettuce on burgers, Philly steak sandwiches are especially bad.

I need both functioning hands to appear in public, this is ruining my social life. Friends know enough to just point to the side of their mouth where I need to wipe. Dates are embarrassed.

Where are the protocols that will get me back a functioning left hand?  And 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different.' is not a valid answer. I would keel haul you for that useless spout of words.
