1st stand and swivel

Jo had another good session today, with three good stands, with more attention being paid to stopping the right leg doing all the work. Jo did a pivot on her good leg to get back in the chair, another milestone. Need to get her sitting in the chair for lunch and “tea”. There has been much talk of wheelchairs but I am convinced Jo needs a good comfortable chair with a high back she can snooze in.

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.
