Dissapointment

I was a little disappointed they had brought Jo upstairs and put her on the bedpan instead of using the rotunda to urinate but they said they said they were worried she didn't have enough strength yet. I spoke to the physiotherapist about this as I think using the rotunda would be good physiotherapy for her leg and her arm. She agreed and will evaluate her use of the rotunda and instruct them if she feels Jo is ready for it.

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.
