Jo is making good progress, standing by herself

Jo had another good day. The collaborative care girls came around for exercise, which now include 5 stands. They will be coming four times a week now so that is good and Jo is standing from the edge of the bed by herself. I put her to bed at 22:00 and she stood and swivelled instead of shuffling across from the commode.

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.
