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 the woods

A 124 acre natural area is next to my apartment complex with unmaintained trails. It is very wet and the drainage takes forever to dissipate.  I have two pair of high(14 inches) waterproof boots. Tho old pair has flex cracks 7 inches up, vinyl and rubber patches did not stick.  The new pair had the heels separate from the soles which led me to wondering why I had ice cold water inside my boots when I was walking thru 2 inches of water. So now I still wear the old boots and try to not go above 7 inches. Last night it rained and the pools over the trails swelled even farther. This led me to bushwack around one of the largest ones. Deer trails are not the greatest to follow, they can easily squeeze under trees 3-4 feet off the ground. I can't do that very well any more.  Now when you meet someone coming toward you where an actual trail exists, they turn around and walk back. I assume to not get within 6 feet of you.  

I have given up on the 10,000 steps a day, it was hard to get it in and do all the social events I had in the evening when we still had social events. Now I do an hour which gets me about 5-6,000 steps, except when I am wading through pools or bushwacking. It took me 4 hours to do this and only got in 8846 steps, normally I would do this in 2 hours.

This is the trail, some of the trees in the distance have orange paint dots on them signifying the route.
