Increasing anxiety

Jo had an accident with her bowels this morning. She has been in control up until now so this may be anxiety about the operation manifesting itself.

The physiotherapist said Jo was distracted during therapy and asked that I take Jo to CICC tomorrow as she is less distracted in the gym.

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.
