We'll see if this proves true at my Dad's current rehab facility. I think they like to use this hope as a tool.

BREAKING: Beginning Sept. 21, restaurants, retailers, gyms, offices, museums and libraries in Austin can open to 75% capacity. Nursing homes can reopen to visitors as long as there is no current outbreak at the facility. Bars will remain closed for the foreseeable future.



This. From the start we fight for #stroke #therapy though @UHC covered, why do we have to beg for it? And pay up front & hope for refund? A pause is a step back in #Recovery. 6 denials so far #NeverGiveUp #insurance is a #SCAM #extortion #LockedInSyndrome

Nearly two decades after the Hayman Fire burned in Colorado, something you'd normally see after a wildfire is missing: new trees. Ecologists say that climate change and increased fire intensity are making it harder for some tree species to regenerate. trib.al/1qMg6fw


Of all the therapy tools used for #stroke #LockedInSyndrome what is best for early #recovery? Eyes Up-Down? Nodding? Yes. Hand squeeze on demand all the time, no. #thoughts #MedTech #rehab #therapy #OccupationalTherapy @American_Stroke @UTHResearch

And/or unusual headache, auditory and visual "effects", sometimes the warning signs are less obvious, get checked! Your worst case scenario? IMO, not death - #stroke #LockedInSyndrome and the @MedicareGov @medicarerights @UHC = are a combined #nightmare
