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.

Longevity increased by positive self-perceptions of aging.

Your competent? doctor has had 24 years to make sure all patients have a positive view of aging. 100% recovery would be the first step towards that; DID YOUR DOCTOR ACHIEVE THAT? NO? So, everyone in your stroke hospital is incompetent then, right?

 I'll get to 100 assuming I'm not too careless, having loads of fun along the way. Last year travel was Australia, Peru, /Vietnam/Cambodia; this year will be Italy, Japan, South Africa/Zimbabwe/Victoria Falls; some upcoming year will be Antarctica, getting to my 7th and final continent.

Part of my Hunter S. Thompson journey; Life is short, have to accomplish a lot while still relatively young and healthy. 


“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

"Your body is not a temple: It's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride." Anthony Bourdain

People really need to start listening to and repeating the Ani DeFranco song. I'm happy.
"If Yr Not"
If you’re not, if you’re not
If you’re not, if you’re not
If you’re not getting happier as you get older
Then you’re fuckin’ up

 Longevity increased by positive self-perceptions of aging.

Abstract

This research found that older individuals with more positive self-perceptions of aging, measured up to 23 years earlier, lived 7.5 years longer than those with less positive self-perceptions of aging. This advantage remained after age, gender, socioeconomic status, loneliness, and functional health were included as covariates. It was also found that this effect is partially mediated by will to live. The sample consisted of 660 individuals aged 50 and older who participated in a community-based survey, the Ohio Longitudinal Study of Aging and Retirement (OLSAR). By matching the OLSAR to mortality data recently obtained from the National Death Index, the authors were able to conduct survival analyses. The findings suggest that the self-perceptions of stigmatized groups can influence longevity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
