Deans' stroke musings: Recumbent tricycle learnings#3

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.

Recumbent tricycle learnings#3

It takes about 20-30 minutes to setup and get going, 15 minutes to take down.

Started wearing a doo rag to prevent sweat from running into my eyes.

Day 9 was 8.13 miles in 0:58:29. Avg. speed; 8.3 mph. Max speed 16.3 mph. Elevation loss; 81.7 feet. Elevation gain; 62.7; Avg. pace 7:11 min/mi. 94 degrees Fahrenheit.

Took the bike with me to Minnesota. Bought some bungee cords to fasten it in place and keep the bike from rolling forward and knocking the gear shift out of drive.

Biked on the railroad trail on the other side of Lake Waconia, trail is 26.6 miles Wayzata to Lester Prairie.

9/3/2020 was 21.16 miles in 3:01:34. Avg. speed; 7.0 mph. Max speed 9.3 mph. Elevation loss; 60.0 feet. Elevation gain; 12.8; Avg. pace 8:34 min/mi. 66 degrees Fahrenheit. The support holding up the chain under my seat unscrewed itself and dropped the chain off the front sprocket, luckily the bolt was still in the clip and since you always have to have your allen wrenches with you was able to fix it and keep going. Would have done another 10 miles but a bathroom was needed and the only one I knew for sure was back the way I came.

Went to St. Paul to stay with a friend after hip replacement surgery. Biked around Lake Como. 9/7/2020; Didn't get the app started correctly, about 1.5 hours, maybe 4.5 miles in total. 58 degrees Fahrenheit.

I am definitely not anywhere close to being in shape for biking.

9/10/2020 was 3.4 miles in 0:48:59. Avg. speed; 3.4 mph. Max speed 16.8 mph. Elevation loss; 25.6 feet. Elevation gain; 48.9; Avg. pace 14:24 min/mi. 63 degrees Fahrenheit. This one and the previous 2 days don't have the app working correctly.

Mirrors need tightening halfway thru the rides. Doing this one-handed doesn't work very well, You really need the hold the mirror in place while you tighten the Allen screw.

Buying a cell phone holder so I can see the Zeopoxa app in real time.

9/14/2020 was 5.14 miles in 0:39:21. Avg. speed; 7.8 mph. Max speed 18.3 mph. Elevation loss; 92.8 feet. Elevation gain; 90.9; Avg. pace 7:39 min/mi. 79 degrees Fahrenheit.

Finally got the app working, previous three days were completely wrong.
