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.

Gratitude: Stroke rehabilitation

What your mental health therapist from the hospital should be working on for you. I had no mental health support for years until I figured it out myself. What an incredible waste of time and effort. All survivors need this.
I point a lot to Tiny Buddha and Seth Godin. Both give me lots to think about and contemplate in my life.

  1. I think about happiness a lot, primarily because I am quite naturally happy while other people I know are unhappy (or even depressed). Gratitude is a solution that works for some people, but it should only when happiness is dependent on external circumstances. For me, happiness more closely coincides with the Buddhist philosophy that happiness comes from inside, not dependent on sickness, death, or any other life circumstance. Although I have serious struggles and significant disappointments, I manage to stay buoyant. Sure, I'm appreciative that the external circumstances of my life are wonderful, but that's not the source of my happiness.

    1. I've never really analyzed why I'm happy, but I'm having fun which I most certainly was not prior to moving to MI. That and I can see a way to a happy and fulfilling retirement now wherever I end up. It helps that I can get around quite well and cognitively was not impacted.
