We miss the appointment for fitting Jo’s prosthetic bone flap

Jo got up at 08:30 as we had an appointment at the prosthetic clinic for a fitting for her bone flap. Everything was going well until we entered the M25. At that moment there was a major collision and traffic came to a halt. We remained stuck there for an hour and a half, thus missing the appointment we had been anticipating for a month. Frustration doesn't begin to describe it.

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.
