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.

Flying challenges

I'm back in New York for the week. My flight from Chicago to NYC was on a B717-200.  Seats on that plane  reclined by pushing the seat forward at the same time as the back tilted.  This made my seating situation even worse since my knees were already  buried into the seat back in front of me.  So I didn't get any sleep at all in the flight from Chicago to NYC.
It was cool on the plane with cool air circulating behind the overhead bins, so I grabbed one of those thin blankets sealed in a plastic bag. It was a very thin blanket and very static filled. One handed opening  the folds was a complete miss. Finally got it in quarters so at least it would cover my upper body. Getting it over both shoulders and keeping it there was damned difficult with one good hand. Then when drinks came by and I had to move my arm the blanket completely slid off. We got in very late so I'll be lucky to get 6 hours of sleep. But then Morgan Stanley has wonderful free coffee, so I'm good.
