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.

Canoeing

 I was at the off the grid cabin on McFarland Lake in northern Minnesota I just purchased with friends. It connects directly to the BWCA so canoeing will be occurring again. As a general rule I prefer kneeling while canoeing, this habit came from my whitewater canoeing years where you can only do offside paddling while kneeling.  But my friend has a Wenonah Kevlar canoe with tractor seats. Impossible to kneel on those. With the very limited reaching of my left arm, seated paddling barely worked. If I was kneeling I could have effectively compensated by leaning forward and getting a decent canoe stroke in.  Eventually I will buy myself a 20 lb. solo carbon fiber canoe, allowing me to canoe and camp in the BWCA by myself. I'll just hoist the canoe on my right shoulder and carry it that way across portages. Friends are concerned about these trips so I may have to get a Spot satellite communication device.
