Deans' stroke musings: Flintshire woman on the mend after stroke thanks to new centre

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.

Flintshire woman on the mend after stroke thanks to new centre

'On the mend' is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! The medical staff is using the tyranny of low expectations to justify the complete failure to get her 100% recovered. Don't accept that failure; DEMAND 100% RECOVERY!

Thanks to the support from a full range of multidisciplinary specialist staff including physiotherapists, nurses, doctors, psychologists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists, Ann can now communicate again and is learning to walk with an aid.

Ann said: “When I first got here I couldn’t talk, I’m still a bit jumbly, but I'm getting better and better. I’ve been seeing all the therapists every day, here in the rehab centre we get a lot more time with the therapists, they’re really good.

“I’m learning to walk along on the bars now too, I’m determined, you have to be don’t you, the therapists keep me busy and keep me going.”

Ann’s relatives, daughter Caroline Pritchard and sister Sue Toplass, have also praised the staff saying, “they’ve been fantastic, we can go home after visiting and have no worries, because the staff are so lovely, and we know she’s being well looked after”.

Consultant Stroke Therapist Dr Sushmita Mohapatra, said: “I’m delighted to see the stroke rehabilitation centre open for our patients to help boost their recovery.
