Involuntary movement in the toes

Jo went to the hospital to have a new splint fitted for the left leg. While she was there she related that she had moved her toes upward on the left foot, only ever so slightly but definite movement. I saw the same movement when we put her into bed, a definite upward movement of the toes and an advance on previous movements of the whole foot or leg.

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.
