It's taking longer than I hoped but that's not the point.

I could present the same effects with a pea-sized infarct and a softball sized penumbra vs. a softball-sized infarct. The first will recover much faster and unless the therapists know this they will just be pushing therapies that make no sense. And until this occurs we will never get useful case studies.<br />Dean, pushing the boundaries again.oc1deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302555382262295577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-876500379409330192011-11-07T12:52:46.568-08:002011-11-07T12:52:46.568-08:00Your last statement seems to be exactly where we a...Your last statement seems to be exactly where we are with my husband and his stroke recovery. He's done all the "exercises" and he's made a lot of improvement. However, now that he's discharged from all of his therapy with the ever-present reminders to keep doing his exercises, it's still discouraging to know that just doing the exercises won't MAKE the brain reconnect to his body. Hopefully it will, but there is no guarantee. I will continue to read your blog as it seems you must be much further along than my husband. I look forward to finding any nuggets of wisdom you may have!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281420407748540105noreply@blogger.com
