Deans' stroke musings: resolution

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.

New Years resolution 70,000 steps a week

Not 10,000 a day, that can be too hard to accomplish with my social schedule. I originally had this in 2015 also, but foot pains caused numerous breaks in continuity. Doing this allows me to keep my weight steady even with all the dining out and wine consumption. social connections and fun are more important that losing my slight excess weight.

The New Years resolution is going to be blown soon

I've been trying to keep a running total of 70,000 steps per week, thru today I've succeeded. I'm going to have to let it lapse. My foot pain is getting to the point that standing up after sitting for a while causes the leg to collapse. If I get walking I can keep going because the pain is regular. I'm hoping whatever it is will resolve in a week or two, then I'll take the walking up again.

2015 resolution

I only have one. Walking 70,000 steps a week, that should be enough to slowly reduce my weight but still allow me all my social food connections with wine and beer. I decided not to do the 10,000 steps a day because I know that there will be some days I absolutely can't accomplish that. This allows me to bank some extra steps on good days. Today went out and walked the natural area trails behind the complex. Got in 11,000 steps in 2.5 hours. I'll go out again this evening and get in 3-5,000 more steps.

Resolutions - who me?

This will be boring, I don't make any but I'll point you to 2 interesting articles.
From RunnersWorld;Resolved: Eat the Damn Cookie
I'm going to follow that one.

From an article on health journalism from Columbia Journalism Review;
‘Survival of the wrongest’
This has one great line we need to apply to our recovery.
when most experts have insisted for some time now that successful, long-term weight loss requires permanent, sustainable, satisfying lifestyle changes.
