Occupational therapists are incapable of joined up thinking

In yet another example of the lack of joined-up thinking displayed by occupational therapists. Jo's KP on Tuesdays clashes with a weekly meeting of the collaborative care team. Furthermore Thursday's session clashes this week with Jo's physiotherapy and is likely to do so every week. Hence we agreed with the collaborative care team to move KP to Mondays and Fridays. What a unnecessary complication, when breakfast KP every day was all that was required.

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.
