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.

New wheels

 My Mom wanted a different car, her 2017 Jeep Renegade(26,000 miles) was too tall for her and she had a hard time reaching up to get the back hatch closed. I originally recommended the car to her because I thought she needed 4WD to get around in Minnesota winters. Turns out she never drives when it is snowing. So I said I'd buy the car from her and trade in my 2008 Toyota Matrix, 161,000 miles. Win win all around. At 91 she just bought a 2020 Ford Ecosport, has power seats that raise her to the right level, as a much smaller car, easier to get into, and the back door opens sideways. My recumbent Tricycle fits in nicely in the Jeep, just have to turn the mirrors down.  It also has a backup camera which was the most important thing for my next car. One of the better items is that the key fob when in proximity unlocks the car door, no longer have to juggle my key and whatever I'm carrying to the car at the same time. No CD player so I'll have to figure out the newfangled way to play my music. I gained 9 years and 135,000 miles. Sometime I want to start hiking the Colorado fourteeners, some of the trailhead roads require 4WD and now I have a vehicle for that. Some specify short wheelbase 4WD and I'm not sure this qualifies, Jeep Wrangler probably.
