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.

Camp chairs

I have several different ones bought for different reasons. The black one was the first bought because I needed a chair to sit on on my 21 day canoe trip in Canada and Alaska, 3 years after stroke, 2009. Without it, I wouldn't have a lap to set my plate or bowl on to eat. It is 17 inches up, easy to stand up from.

The blue one is the stadium chair, used at Winnipeg Folk Festival and Stan Rogers Folk Festival. 11 inches up, hard to get up from. Friends usually yank me to an upright position. A nice pillow and it reclines for napping.

The red and gray one I just bought because I needed a chair for backpacking, day trips, and the upcoming DALMAC bike trip to Mackinac. It is 15 inches high and quite easy to get up from. My first try at getting it together took me 30 minutes because you have to stretch  the fabric to get it onto the ends of the poles. Finally  figured it out by realizing that the back poles were in two pieces and by using my hip and  and a lot of practice was able to snap them straight. It is going to stay stretched out for a couple of days so next time it should be easier. 15 inches up, fairly easy to get up from, 2.3 pounds.

I shouldn't have to figure this out all by myself, there are 10s of millions of stroke survivors out there, someone has figured this out before.
