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.

fingerprinting

My current contract working for a financial firm requires both hand fingerprints. Went to the local police office to get it done. Right unaffected hand - no problem. Left affected hand, couldn't even get the left thumb on the paper because the fingers were curled too tight and hit the edge of the table. I had to pry each individual finger straight with my good hand, the police was unable to help at all with the left hand. Still smeared every finger. The four fingers together was a complete miss. Ended up with printer ink all over both my good and bad hands. Practically emptied the soap dispenser trying to get the ink off. Cleaning your good hand must have been something I missed in my OT rehab. A couple of years ago  I was being fingerprinted  using the glass plates and that didn't work either. I was either pressing too hard or not hard enough. So I wrote a note explaining my stroke spasticity for why the left hand was smeared.
