A fitting for a new splint

The physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist came around to fit Jo for a new splint today. I thought they would leave it but they took it away for further fitting.

Prior to that Jo had a good exercise session with ten good stands. The collaborative care girl said Jo was making good progress and that the cranioplasty should see further progress.

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.
