I am a distraction during physiotherapy

Jo has a good physiotherapy session, the first one where she has been motivated. She can see the point of the routines the physiotherapist is pushing her through and how it is helping her. Jo is easily distracted at the moment, another symptom of sinking skin flap syndrome, soI sat behind a screen so I wasn't a distraction and we agreed that, in future, it would be beter if I don't attend the sessions.

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.
