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.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

 How EXACTLY is your doctor getting you back to a happy life? DOING NOTHING? Then you don't have a functioning stroke doctor!

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life 

Page 31. A stoic attitude - serenity in the face of a setback - can also help keep you young.
I'm definitely serene, especially after just coming back from the Buddhist nation of Bhutan.
Page 38. Desire to have a meaningful life.
My meaningful life is to have fun, that's enough meaning for me. 
Page. 58-9 Achieving flow; Choose a difficult task, but not too difficult.
I've given up on stroke rehab because there are NO protocols to follow. Way too difficult to solve stroke on your own. 
Page  166-7.  Emotional resilience thru Buddhism and stoicism.
Since your doctor has completely failed at your recovery maybe Buddhism or stoicism can get you thru the hard life ahead.
Page 184-5 Ten rules of Ikigai:
  • Stay active; don't retire. Many of the world's longest-lived people work well into their 80's and 90's or don't retire. ...Nope, not for me
  • Take it slow. ... Retirement is all about taking it slow.
  • Don't fill your stomach. ... I have to work on this some more
  • Surround yourself with good friends. ... I have lots of them.
  • Get in shape for your next birthday. ... Working on it
  • Smile. ... People who just meet me comment that I'm smiling and happy all the time.
  • Reconnect with nature. ... I do forest bathing several times a week.
  • Give thanks. I'm thankful my stroke was the best thing to happen to me.
