This is a problem with my stroke. I think too much about all things stroke related. I was never given any detailed diagnosis of my stroke, just told it was an ischemic one. And from reading thousands of stroke related forums I don't think anyone else has either. It would be like getting a diagnosis of cancer and not telling you where the cancer is located. With no diagnosis there is no chance of getting appropriate therapy because the therapists are only working with the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. And as a result I can never compare my therapy to what should be a standard therapy for a specific diagnosis. PMR doctors hand off the patients by just giving them to the OTs and PTs a prescription for ET, Evaluate and Treat. This is a total abandonment of their responsibilities.
This is suggesting that therapist teachings for stroke rehab is all wrong.
Ignore me, I should never presume to know more than my medical staff, even though I do.
