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.

Walking in freezing water

It rained the other day before we got 3 inches of snow. This means that the low areas in my walking trails create quite a few pools. I wasn't worried since 3 months ago I got a brand new pair of 15 inch high Galeton rubber boots. It became immediately obvious as I waded through the first 2 inch deep puddle that they completely failed. I had ice cold water in each boot. I had to cut my walking in half, only 6415 steps.  Toady I went out with my old green Wellies, the reason I bought new ones is that these have a hole 7 inches up on the right boot. Since the ground hasn't frozen yet the pools never got more than 4 inches deep so I was good and got in 8821 steps. Didn't really like these anyway since there was no steel shank on the sole, I could feel roots and acorns as I walked on them. 

Update: They refunded my money but said that I should have bought insulated boots. Nope. You can easily see that the heel is not in one piece with the sole. That is the failure point. Bought a different pair, Dunlop 8677512 Chesapeake Boots, the only thing I dislike is the waffle stomper treads, they hold too much dirt.


You can see that the heel has separated from the sole
