I'd like to know. The title of this article, http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/aha/strokeconnection_20090708/index.php#/10/OnePage, has to do with a memory of something I heard while in a coma.
What I've been through hasn't been very fun. Maybe "terrifying" not "exciting." "Best practices" are not what happens at all. The closest I've seen to that are at university hospitals or hospitals with those affiliations (I've been in at least 5, 1…
I just got a notice that HIPPA is now following me on Twitter. Politicians and lawyers will be the ones to develop this policy and not medical practitioners.
A group to discuss the connections between neurobiological and psychological plasticity
A place dedicated to discussions of the principles and empirical research of neuroplasticity.
Biochemical memory and some aspects of neural networks included
One of the reasons I am here I believe has to do with this. CPR... a ventilator...treatment of MRSA...Everything I've had was successfully treated. Now, (I believe through neuroplasticity), I'm making further progress.
I had stereotactic radiosurgery at Stanford. It was a process spanning 2 months. First there were 3 sessions of embolization. The whole idea was to shrink the AVM before a craniotomy was attempted. After those, the AVM was removed. The whole process…
I had an AVM bleed. It was located in the cerebellum, right next to the pons, and the way it bled was also like a brainstem bleed. Although I immediately sought medical attention at a clinic, I wasn't taken to a hospital for surgery until hours late…
Contrary to previously held beliefs about the static nature of the adult brain, it is capable of generating new neurons that are capable of integrating into the complex circuitry.

This is different. I had a severe brain injury and was in a coma. Then I was brain dead (I beg to differ. What would that doctor say now?). Quad...then hemiplegic...then hemiparesis...now working on left-handed (was right). Couldn't talk, had dysphagia. Now talk and orally takes Ensure (just a little). I obviously am not cognitively impaired (surprising considering the severity of the bleed), but I have my own theories involving imprinting on several areas of the brain (remember that?) and the re-wiring of neuroplasticity. I've been in 5 hospitals, inluding Stanford, where the embolizations and last craniotomy were done. Also, there has been a sub-acute hospital and 2 nursing homes (licensed and not) since 2002 when this happened.
This is a post I did, but it explains best:
I had an AVM bleed. It was located in the cerebellum, right next to the pons, and the way it bled was also like a brainstem bleed. Although I immediately sought medical attention at a clinic, I wasn't taken to a hospital for surgery until hours later after I lost consciousness and other things. I cover it in here where it's a more interesting read, http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/aha/strokeconnection_20090708/index....
I was in a coma about 5 weeks. I do know I could hear the latter part. Upon opening my eyes, that's all I could do. I had Locked-In Syndrome. After some therapy, I could minimally move my left (was right-handed and I believe this was important for neuroplasticity). Around 8 mos post bleed I started making sounds, and was scoped. Nothing was found. I now fully talk. A few years post bleed, the AVM was removed. At that time, I started moving my right--hemiparesis.
Now I do have a BA in psychology and an MA in special education. I specialized in infant intervention and biomedical intervention. For a while I was a program manager of an early intervention program. When my bleed happened, I had just moved and started a new career as a behavior therapist. I do know my bleed would have been classified as a Grade IV, and the prognosis very poor. But I also saw something else going on-progression. It has been this PROGRESSION that has driven my interest in neuroscience. I didn't get an answer from a top university, so I've researched on my own. I've later learned this PROGRESSION is neuroplasticity (my BA was in '89 and the theory not taught). I do know what I am doing has never been done before. I could blow you away with what I know and what I've experienced.
