Deans' stroke musings: Unbroken

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.

You go on living as best as you can, Having some fun along the way

A Phil saying in 'Unbroken'. Friends are some what worried about me, they really don't want me to die on some mountain because I was stupid enough to climb it alone.I probably will anyway since one of my goals is to climb all the Colorado 14,000 foot peaks and I doubt my friends will be able to accompany me on each trip.
I know I have a tendency to do wild and crazy things. But it makes me feel alive. A Hunter S. Thompson quote for you;

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

Even though he did leave this suicide note; "No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won’t hurt." That's not the way I'm going, it will probably be a wingsuit accident at 94.

The response back to that was, 'Good, we are expecting you to turn out the lights'.

And I am going to have one hell of a lot of fun for the rest of my life. There is already a two week trip to Paris next March.
