More NHS incompetence

Jo got up at 08:30, assisted by the new care team. We were not given any notice of this and no-one has reviewed the care plan with us. In addition we have not filled in the application for funding for this. They have also taken away the medication administration chart and their records without any handover. We should be used to this mismanagement by the NHS by now but I still find the degree of incompetence astonishing.

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.
