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.

Damn, damn, damn, damn

Mom whispered to me over the phone that my dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimers.  From that I assume that Dad has not been told of the diagnosis. I'm traveling there next week to see what needs to be done. Once I go thru my hundreds of posts on dementia/Alzheimers I'll come up with a protocol on it for him. Damn it all, not only do I have to tackle stroke pretty much alone, I'm going to have to become the world's expert in dementia/Alzheimers also. I'm not sure I have enough brains and stamina to handle both at the same time, along with working full time and traveling to NY on almost a weekly basis. My wine group met this weekend in Saugatuck, MI and it was a good thing that  my bedroom was 30 feet down the hallway with walls along the way.

    Early on, my MIL's dementia diagnosis scared the shit out of her (but she's a very immature 85-year-old), so she would have been better off not knowing. Now she's at a nasty stage, totally without self-editing skills. BTW, my husband thinks that some of her confusion has been caused by low Na, due to a diuretic to control her BP.

    Where in NY are your parents? My MIL is in Rochester.
