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.

Lamar Odom Vows To Return To NBA, But How Likely Is It?

Very unlikely. His doctor should be telling him the very difficult road he will have to travel to even attempt a comeback.

Lamar Odom Vows To Return To NBA, But How Likely Is It?

Only 10% of stroke survivors get to almost a full recovery. And that has nothing to do with how good your doctors or therapists are. It almost totally depends on how small the strokes are and their location. The doctors have done nothing to stop the continuing death of neurons during the first week. Aka, the neuronal cascade of death.

    Poor guy has NO clue what's in store for him. But I'll be very curious to follow. He has all the money in the world at his disposal (Kardashian money) so let's see if anything useful is done with that money. Like hours of meditation lessons, hours of workouts a day with a trainer or private PT. Hours and hours and hours of whatever else.

    Don't forget former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi - He had a stroke in 2005 - just after returning from the Pro-Bowl. Like Lamar, he had an endless source of money and access to the best medical attention. He returned to play for the Pats in 2006 after surgery to close a PFO. He credits a great PT and his never-give-up attitude for his recovery. I was treated at the same rehab center, but with drastically different results. He retired from football in 2009.
