Deans' stroke musings: Essentia Health hosting walk and support group for stroke survivors

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.

Essentia Health hosting walk and support group for stroke survivors

Absolute proof they are a complete failure to stroke survivors. This wouldn't be needed if they were competent is getting survivors 100% recovered.

Send me hate mail on this: oc1dean@gmail.com. I'll print your complete statement with your name and my response in my blog. Or are you afraid to engage with my stroke-addled mind? Survivors would like to know why you are being so fucking incompetent that you can't get them 100% recovery! NO EXCUSES!

Essentia Health hosting walk and support group for stroke survivors

On Wednesday, May 29, Essentia Health will hold a Stroke Walk in support of local stroke survivors. This complimentary event will be held from 2-4 p.m. at the Rustad Recreation Center, located at 601 26th Ave. E. in West Fargo.

The walk is open to stroke survivors, their support network and staff that care for stroke patients. Walkers do not need to be patients of Essentia. If interested in attending, please email StrokeSupportGroup@EssentiaHealth.org.

For those unable to attend, a Stroke Support Group is available the following month, from 3-4 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, in Conference Room LLH253 at Essentia Health-Fargo, located at 3000 32nd Ave. S.

Held the last Thursday of every month, this support group is open to stroke survivors, family members and caregivers. It is designed to provide support, education and encouragement from others that have experienced similar life-changing events.
