The physiotherapy appears to be working

They put Jo in the chair at 14:00 today for her physiotherapy session at 14:30. This was a good session, with Jo standing twice for a good two or three minutes each time. Her torso has better muscle tone and she was able to shuffle from plinth to chair much easier than before.

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.
