When I first started writing this blog 6 years ago as suggested by Peter Levine, my only goal was to beat him in number of views and find and report on useful rehab. Did that in about 1.5 years. The goal changed to document all the ways survivors could be treated better and get a lot more recovery. This would be quite easy to do if we have the strategy and foundation money to followup the thousands upon thousands of promising research trials and translate them into valid stroke rehab intervention protocols.
I can't tell if this blog is doing one damn bit of good, not a single doctor that I know of has even commented on this. And the presidents of our fucking failures of stroke associations haven't contacted me. I'm sure some employees of those associations know about this but are too scared to tell their president.
I know I have at least 10,000 more posts coming since stroke research is never correlated to any stroke strategy.
10,000 posts! Congratulations! And your blog does me some good, because I can come here and be reminded that I'm not alone, and I'm not the only one who thinks the stroke associations are completely worthless. And why.
