Deans' stroke musings: physical contact

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.

Hugging failures

Hugging requires two fully functional arms and hands. I might be able to get my left arm around the body by almost punching her in the side and scraping her backside. Or I do the windup by pulling my left shoulder back and snapping it forward, flinging my left arm around her. Then I have to grab the hand as it comes around hoping that I didn't slap her in the butt.

My social life is being ruined by not being able to properly hug the women in my life.

Missing complete hugs

With my pretty non-functional left arm I might be able to return a hug while standing as long as it is going to last a while. My friend doesn't seem to care as I swing my arm like a club. While sitting or any other position just will not work. I miss the physical contact this entails.
