Jo’s burn is looking angry again

Jo continues to make steady progress and I am growing ever more confident for a full recovery. The District Nurse came and put new dressings on her leg burn and pressure sore. The former is looking quite angry after first appearing to get better so she has asked for a swab to be taken.

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.
