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.

Standing and sitting next to a table filled with wine glasses

Last night was a wine tasting, southern hemisphere wines, led by a sommelier, 9 bottles for 13 people. The table was covered with champagne flutes, regular wine glasses and water glasses.  I needed to move seats which considering that I usually still need to use my right arm to push off the chair, that would leave my dangerous left arm free to swing wildly and knock over loads of glasses. So in order not to crash glasses I have to pivot my chair parallel to the table so I can grab my left hand with my right hand and use the swing your upper body over your legs method to stand up.  I've gotten so good at this I can do it even after more than a couple of glasses of wine. Luckily my friends keep me supplied with water so I don't have to leave the table for that. My bladder control is much much better than the first year.   See my quotes from Anthony Bourdain and Hunter S. Thompson for how I'm living my life to the fullest.
