Another restless night

Jo was fast asleep this morning. She had a restless night I think and passed lots of urine although she seems to have managed the slipper quite well as she hasn't used any extra incontinence pads.
The collaborative care team arrived at 08:45 so Jo didn't get up until 09:30. She then prepared her own breakfast of porridge, tea and a marmalade sandwich, assisted by the girls. Jo is enjoying getting back into the kitchen, an important part of her rehabilitation. Jo was less sleepy today, although she still slept a lot. She went to bed at 21:30, helped by the collaborative care team.

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.
