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.

Failure at eating from small cups

 All due to my doctor and therapists completely failing at getting my left arm/hand recovered, they did nothing to cure my spasticity! Since I'm tending to my 95 year old Mom we get meals on wheels and there are usually small cups of fruit and pudding/Jello. I have to hope that I have something on the table hefty enough on the table to stop the cup from sliding. The pudding and Jello cups are impossible to get clean with your spoon. My left arm will never rest on the table and stay there and I can't get my fingers open and at the same time get them around the cup. This problem is all because of spasticity of which the ridiculous opinion of Dr. William M. Landau is preventing a solution. I shouldn't hope that schadenfreude hits him but I do.
