Geographically challenged

A Doctor told us today we have a choice of two hospitals, the Homerton (NHS) and the Wellington (Private). Have these people no grasp of geography? Both hospitals are in central London, miles from our home.

Jo continues to make good progress generally, speech still slurred but improving although she refused physiotherapy today.

Different strokes...

It has been nearly seven years since Jo suffered a "controlled" stroke whilst undergoing brain surgery to clip the blood vessel that had caused a subarachnoid haemorrhage in 2000. Sadly two successive coilings did not occlude the bleed and so Jo had a craniotomy in August 2008. During surgery the surgeon discovered the coiling had penetrated the rear of the aneurysm, occasioning emergency repair procedures. Consequentially they spent one and a half hours longer in surgery than expected, leading to the right half of Jo's brain forgetting it has to look after the left side of her world.
