If you had a blank check what would you do to get fully recovered from your stroke?

A question from one of my readers.
If I had a blank check it still wouldn't do much good to get 100% recovered because right now there are no repeatable ways to recover. This is because we don't know exactly how to make neuroplasticity repeatable, i.e. We don't know what it takes to tell a neighboring neuron to take on a task. The solution is not in rehab, you have to get earlier in the process and stop the damage from occurring during the first week, the neuronal cascade of death. A lot of this is because our stroke medical professionals(SMP) believe in the stupid meme; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. It is used as an excuse for why they can't help us recover. And until our SMPs acknowledge that there are lots of problems to solve in stroke will we ever get changes. That is why I absolutely hate the F.A.S.T. campaign, it allows the stroke world to present lies as truth, i.e. getting fast to a stroke hospital will have you be able to reverse the stroke. 

All of us 10 million a year existing stroke survivors are screwed until stem cells are perfected or neurogenesis is made usefully repeatable.
