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.

Damaged toes

Managed to really do a job on my feet. On my good right foot, 2nd toe I peeled off a blister on the second day, the third day I created another blister under that location. On my bad left foot the velcro straps can't be tightened enough to stop the foot from sliding into the toe cavity while walking, and the toenail was too long. Going downhill makes it much worse and nothing where we were was level. By the second day I had black and blue bruising under the big toenail. On the 23,000 walking day in Rome I got back to the ship and discovered that my big toenail had detached from the nail bed. Pedicures are going to be in my future from now on.  I didn't let the fairly constant pain stop me from enjoying myself.

The last day of the trip
