Untangling knots

Jo was sitting up in her chair untangling the knots in her hair with the Leave-In shampoo. It's great to see her beginning to take a pride in her appearance again and another important step on the road to recovery. She spent 3.5 hours in the chair before getting tired.

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.
