Deans' stroke musings: Former Kansas State QB, Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Bishop recovering from stroke

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.

Former Kansas State QB, Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Bishop recovering from stroke

So your doctor failed to tell you only have a 10% chance of getting fully recovered. That to me is completely irresponsible.

Former Kansas State QB, Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Bishop recovering from stroke

Former Kansas State quarterback Michael Bishop revealed Monday on social media that he's recovering from a recent stroke.

"(T)hanks for all your prayers," Bishop, 43, tweeted from his home in the Houston area. "I had a small stroke and a blood clot behind my left ear. I’m recovering well and will have upcoming rehab to regain my strength."

Bishop won a pair of junior college national championships at Blinn (Texas) College in 1995 and 1996 before transferring to Kansas State as a junior to play for coach Bill Snyder.

He led the Wildcats to a pair of 11-win seasons in 1997 and 1998 and finished second to Texas running back Ricky Williams in the 1998 Heisman Trophy balloting.

After college, Bishop was selected in the seventh round of the 1999 draft by the New England Patriots. He played two years in the NFL and later won a Grey Cup in 2004 with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts.
