Deans' stroke musings: Fishing attempt #1

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.

Fishing attempt #1

I used to fish a fair amount. Finally put together what almost worked.

Buy a new rod with a longer butt that will set into the Waist Fishing Rod Holder
Buy a bait casting reel with the crank on the right side
Buy a weight lifting hooker which goes on the left hand to hook the rod as you reel in the fish
Even with all that it didn't work since my therapists and doctor never cured my arm spasticity. I can't extend the arm at all unless my right hand is pulling it out. So that would let the fish run away with all the line.

The waist holder in place and the hooker on my left hand. Fastening the waist belt almost requires another person.

So the next solution is going to be a short bungee cord from my life jacket to the first eyelet, probably one of the black ones, they wouldn't have much give unless I'm hauling it a 30 lb. lake trout.
