We have a date for the prosthetic clinic

We have a date for a prosthetic clinic with the surgeon who is preparing Jo's brain flap. The date is 12th February. Let us hope the operation is as soon as possible after that.

Jo had a very good physiotherapy session by all accounts, working on the torso.

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.
