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.

Airplane food

With luck I didn't spill anything on myself. The jelly packet was squeezed from the bottom directly on the uncut croissant, I can't cut any piece of bread in half, and I can't spread either butter or jam.  The ice cream tub was too big to properly fit between my fingers and it is impossible to fit in my left hand due to the spasticity.  Luckily no one was beside me so my left elbow didn't attack anyone while I was eating. Getting off the foil tops of the food was quite the challenge.

You can almost see the curve of the wrist due to spasticity which is the reason I can't hold any glasses upright. The fingers will never stay straight for long. I have probably passively flexed each one of them at least 500,000 times.  I would like to know EXACTLY how many more times I have to do that before my spasticity goes away.  THAT is what our stroke associations and researchers need to solve.  Useful stuff like that, not the prediction crapola that seems to be common.
