Disrupted sleep patterns

Jo opted to stay in bed this morning. She had another restless night, no doubt brought on by her sleeping most of the day yesterday. The hope is that she gets a good rest in the morning, getting up in the afternoon, thus kick starting a more regular routine.

Jo got up at 17:30. After staying awake in bed all day she promptly fell asleep in the chair, whence she remained until going to bed at 22:30.

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.
