Some improvement observed during physiotherapy

Jo rang me to make sure I was coming to CICC for her physiotherapy session today. She seemed much more positive than ever before.

During the session she managed several stands and two steps on the left foot, the latter of which, crucially, she was aware of.

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.
