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.

Changing a flat tire

Last night after going for a walk to check the skies for northern lights, which was a failure due to clouds and rain. I decided I needed to return a library DVD. Taking the usual route I only got two blocks away and was preparing for a left turn. In the dark and rain I misjudged when the turn lane was coming up. Plowed up and over a curb, flattening the tire and denting the rim.  Luckily I waited until morning to change the tire and put on the donut. It required lots of kneeling and half turns on the two-handed crank which I managed to do by kneeling on the crank and pulling up with my good hand. That took 20 minutes. By that time my left leg was completely shaking. One handed lifting of a tire requires a knee to get it into the back of the hatchback. The new rim won't be available until Tues. and will cost $160.
